What should you do if you become lost while hunting?

Remaining calm and not panicking is essential if you find yourself lost while hunting. When people panic, they can make irrational decisions, overlook important survival steps, and diminish their ability to think clearly about their situation. Staying calm helps you assess your environment, remember your training, and make rational choices for safety.

In a lost scenario, taking a moment to breathe and think can lead to practical responses, like retracing your steps if possible, using tools you may have on hand, or utilizing your skills in navigation. It allows you to evaluate your options without the clouding effects of fear and anxiety, which can lead to further disorientation.
