The OPP recommend that if a hunter discovers he is lost he stxould "hug a tree" and wait for sear- chers to find hlm. Before leaving on a hunting trip tel someme where you are going and then go there. Numerous searchers have been carried out for lost and overdue hunters who said they were going one plnce but went another. Hunters who boat ta their hunting area have the double respoti- sibility of remembering the rules of boating. An overloaded boat is likely to capsize throwing its heavily-dressed oc- cupants into freezing water. A lifejacket that is worn is a real life- saver in this situation.
