What should you do if you are lost while hunting?

Continue moving around to find your way
Stay put and signal for help

Follow animal tracks to find your way

The correct answer is: Stay put and signal for help

Staying put and signaling for help is the best action to take if you become lost while hunting. When in unfamiliar territory, moving around can often lead to further disorientation, making it more challenging to navigate back to safety. By remaining in one place, you increase the chances that other hunters or individuals will be able to locate you. It also allows you to conserve energy while waiting for assistance. In addition, signaling for help—whether through creating noticeable signals such as using brightly colored material, using a whistle, or utilizing your phone if there's service—can effectively draw attention to your location, enhancing your chances for a quick rescue. This approach is based on the principle that staying visible and conserving your energy is critical in survival situations, especially in a potentially vast and challenging natural environment.
