What should you do if you become lost while hunting?

  1. Continue moving at night to find your way out

  2. Stay put and make yourself visible to rescuers

  3. Try to catch up with any animal sounds

  4. light a large fire immediately for warmth

The correct answer is: Stay put and make yourself visible to rescuers

If you become lost while hunting, it is important to stay in one place and make yourself visible to rescue teams. Moving at night can be dangerous and lead you further away from help. Trying to catch up with animal sounds is not a reliable method as animals could lead you further into the wilderness. Lighting a large fire immediately for warmth can be helpful, but it is not a priority when you are lost and need to be found by rescuers. Stay put, make yourself visible, and wait for help to come.
