Georgia Hunter Education Course Practice Exam

If you get lost while hunting or hiking in the outdoors, it is crucial to stay put and make yourself visible, which is why option D is the correct answer. By staying in one place, you increase the likelihood of being found quickly by search and rescue teams. Moving around when lost can make it difficult for others to locate you and can worsen the situation. Making yourself visible by wearing bright-colored clothing, waving a flag or mirror, or creating signals such as a smoke signal can help rescuers spot you more easily. Panic and running (option A), waiting without taking any action (option B), and starting a fire for rescue signals (option C) are not recommended actions when you are lost.
