What should you do if you become lost while hunting?

  1. Try to find your way out before it gets dark

  2. Stay put and make yourself visible to rescuers

  3. Continue moving at night to cover more ground

  4. Hide from animals until daylight returns

The correct answer is: Stay put and make yourself visible to rescuers

If you become lost while hunting, the best course of action is to stay put and make yourself visible to rescuers. Option A may seem like a good idea, but it can actually lead to getting even more lost if you end up walking in circles. It's also important to remember that visibility is key when it comes to being found by search and rescue teams. Option C is dangerous as moving at night can increase the risk of getting injured or lost. And hiding from animals, as suggested in option D, is not a good idea as animals can actually help lead you to safety or even to other humans who can help. So, the best thing to do is to stay in one place and make yourself visible to increase the chances of being found.
