What should you do if you become lost while hunting?

  1. Start traveling in the direction you think is correct

  2. Stay put and make yourself visible

  3. Try to catch a ride back

  4. Follow streams downhill

The correct answer is: Stay put and make yourself visible

If you become lost while hunting, it is important to stay put and make yourself visible rather than wandering in the direction you think is correct or trying to catch a ride back. Wandering can lead you further away from potential rescuers and trying to catch a ride back may not be possible in remote hunting locations. Following streams downhill may also not be a viable option as it can lead to dangerous or difficult terrain. It is best to stay in one place and make yourself easy to find for search and rescue teams.
