What should you do if you become lost while hunting?

  1. Panic and try to find your way out immediately

  2. Stay put and wait for help to arrive

  3. Wander aimlessly hoping to find someone

  4. Start a large fire to signal for help

The correct answer is: Stay put and wait for help to arrive

If you panic and try to find your way out immediately, you may end up getting more lost and disoriented. It's important to stay calm and remain in one place, as moving around can make it more difficult for search parties to locate you. Similarly, wandering aimlessly is not a good idea as it can lead you further away from populated areas or safety. Starting a large fire may attract attention, but it's not always the best option as it can also be a safety hazard in certain environments. It's best to stay put and wait for help to arrive, as this increases the chances of being found and rescued safely.
