What should you do if you get lost while hunting?

Keep moving and search for an exit
Wait for someone to find you without taking any action
Use the STOP method: Stop, Think, Observe, Plan
Immediately try to call for help with a loud noise

The correct answer is: Use the STOP method: Stop, Think, Observe, Plan

Getting lost while hunting can be a dangerous situation, and it's important to know what to do to ensure your safety. Option A, keep moving and search for an exit, can actually make things worse as you may end up wandering further away from help. Option B, waiting for someone to find you, is also not recommended as it relies on a rescue team to locate you, which may take some time. Option D, immediately trying to call for help, can be helpful but may not be effective in remote wilderness areas. The STOP method, outlined in option C, is the best course of action as it allows you to gather your thoughts and think logically about your next steps. It also encourages you to observe your surroundings and make a plan to find your way back to safety. This method can help prevent panic and improve your chances of a successful outcome.
