What should you do if you become lost while hunting?

  1. Keep moving and try to find your way out

  2. Wait in a safe place and signal for help

  3. Continue hunting until nightfall

  4. Try to call a friend for directions

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

If you become lost while hunting, the best option is to wait in a safe place and signal for help. This is because moving around can disorient you further and potentially lead you deeper into unfamiliar terrain. Continuing to hunt until nightfall not only puts you at risk for getting even more lost, but it also increases your chances of being out in the dark without proper gear or supplies. Trying to call a friend for directions may not be possible if you are in an area with no cell reception, and it may waste precious battery life on your phone. It is always best to stay put and wait for help to arrive.
