Which action is recommended if you become lost while hunting?

  1. Start running in any direction to find your way back

  2. Panic and shout for immediate help

  3. Stay put and make yourself visible

  4. Attempt to catch wild animals for food

The correct answer is: Stay put and make yourself visible

Staying put and making yourself visible is recommended if you become lost while hunting because it increases your chances of being found by search parties. Running in any direction may lead you further away from your original location and increase the difficulty in finding you. Panicking and shouting may also cause you to exert unnecessary energy and attract unwanted attention from animals. Attempting to catch wild animals for food should be avoided as it can be dangerous and may further prolong the time it takes for you to be found.
