What should you do if you fall into cold water while hunting from a boat?

Attempt to swim to shore immediately
Take off your boots and heavy clothing
Try to re-enter your boat
Splash water on yourself to stay awake

The correct answer is: Try to re-enter your boat

If you fall into cold water while hunting from a boat, the best course of action is to try to re-enter your boat. By attempting to get back into the boat, you can increase your chances of getting out of the water and reducing the risk of hypothermia. Swimming to shore immediately might lead to exhaustion and increase exposure to the cold water, making it a risky option. Taking off boots and heavy clothing may also lead to loss of body heat and energy. Splashing water on yourself to stay awake is not a suitable response to falling into cold water and can actually waste energy without providing any benefit in that situation. Therefore, the most appropriate action to take if you fall into cold water while hunting from a boat is to try to re-enter your boat.
