What is the correct action to take if you become lost while hunting?

Keep moving and try to find your way
Wait in a safe place for help
Increase your hunting range
Fire three shots in the air immediately

The correct answer is: Wait in a safe place for help

If you become lost while hunting, it is important to remain calm and wait in a safe place for help. This is the recommended action because trying to find your way may lead you further away from safety and increase your chances of getting more lost. Increasing your hunting range may also lead you further away from familiar territory and could potentially put you in danger. Firing three shots in the air immediately is not a reliable method of signaling for help and could potentially alert other hunters to your presence, increasing the risk of accidents. Therefore, waiting in a safe place for help is the best course of action in this situation.
