What should you do if you become lost while hunting?

  1. Keep moving and search for an exit

  2. Wait in a safe place for rescuers

  3. Follow a stream downhill

  4. Try to call for help only once it gets dark

The correct answer is: Wait in a safe place for rescuers

If you become lost while hunting, it is important to stay calm and assess your situation. Moving and searching for an exit may cause you to become even more disoriented and lost. Following a stream downhill may lead you further away from potential help. Trying to call for help only once it gets dark may make it more difficult for rescuers to find you. It is best to wait in a safe place and conserve your energy while waiting for rescuers to arrive.
