What should you do if you become lost while hunting?

Keep moving and try to find your way out
Panic and shout for help
Stay put and signal for help
Follow animal tracks to find water

The correct answer is: Stay put and signal for help

If you are exploring in unfamiliar territory, getting lost can be a scary and dangerous situation. While it may seem like a good idea to keep moving in hopes of finding your way out, this can actually make things worse by expending more energy and possibly getting you even more turned around. Panicking and shouting for help may attract unwanted attention or scare away any potential rescuers. Following animal tracks may not lead you to civilization or a water source, and can also be physically demanding. The best option in this scenario is to stay put and signal for help. This increases your chances of being found by search and rescue teams, and also allows you to conserve energy and resources until help arrives.
