What should you do if you become lost while hunting?

Keep moving and searching for an exit.
Sit down, stay calm, and wait for help.
Increase your elevation frequently to find landmarks.
Fire three shots in the air every hour.

The correct answer is: Sit down, stay calm, and wait for help.

Choosing to sit down, stay calm, and wait for help is the best course of action if you become lost while hunting. This approach helps in several ways. First, it minimizes the risk of further disorientation that can happen if you keep moving without a clear direction. By remaining in one place, you are more likely to be found by searchers. Additionally, staying calm allows you to assess your situation better and conserve energy while you think through your options. The alternative options, such as continuing to move in search of an exit, might lead you deeper into unfamiliar territory and increase the chances of getting more lost or injured. While increasing elevation and looking for landmarks could be helpful if you're oriented and confident, it may not be practical when you're disoriented. Firing three shots in the air every hour is a signaling method that can be useful, but it assumes that you or someone else is taking action to initiate a search, which might not always be possible or safe. Waiting provides a focused approach to ensure safety and potential recovery.
