What should you do if you become lost while hunting?

Keep moving and try to find your way out
Panic to increase your adrenaline
Stay put and make yourself visible
Follow animal tracks to find water

The correct answer is: Stay put and make yourself visible

If you become lost while hunting, the best course of action is to stay put and make yourself visible. This is the correct answer because wandering aimlessly can cause you to become more lost and further away from help. By staying in one place and making yourself visible, you increase the chances of being found by search and rescue teams or other hunters. It also conserves your energy and resources until help arrives. It is important to stay calm and avoid panicking, as this can lead to irrational decision-making. Following animal tracks to find water, as well as trying to find your way out by moving continuously, can lead to further disorientation and risk getting more lost.
