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

Keep moving at night to find the way out
Panic and shout for help
Stay put and make yourself visible
Follow all animal tracks

The correct answer is: Stay put and make yourself visible

If you get lost while hunting, it is not recommended to keep moving at night, as it can increase the risk of getting more lost or injured. This also goes against the general safety practice of staying put and waiting for rescue. Panicking and shouting for help may also not be effective, as it can cause you to waste energy and potentially scare off nearby rescue teams. Following animal tracks can also lead you further into unfamiliar and potentially more dangerous territory. The safest course of action is to stay put and make yourself visible by using a signal fire, whistle, or reflective materials. This increases the chance of being found by rescue teams and reduces the risk of getting further lost or injured.
