What action should be taken if you get lost while hunting?

  1. Continue moving at night to find your way

  2. Use your firearm to signal for help

  3. Stay put and make yourself visible

  4. Try to hunt your way back

The correct answer is: Stay put and make yourself visible

If you get lost while hunting, the best course of action is to stay put and make yourself visible. This is the correct answer because wandering aimlessly if you are lost can make it harder for rescuers to find you. By staying in one place, you increase the chances of being located quickly and safely. It is important to make yourself visible by using brightly colored clothing, building a signal fire, or creating other visual signals to help rescuers locate you. This approach is safer than trying to find your way back by walking in an unknown direction or using your firearm to signal for help.
