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

Immediately remove heavy clothing
Try to climb back into the boat right away
Keep as much of your body out of the water as possible
Swim vigorously to generate body heat

The correct answer is: Keep as much of your body out of the water as possible

If you fall into cold water while hunting from a boat, the best course of action is to keep as much of your body out of the water as possible. This is because immersion in cold water can quickly lead to hypothermia, which can be life-threatening. By keeping as much of your body out of the water as you can, you reduce heat loss and have a better chance of staying warm until help arrives. It is important to avoid actions like swimming vigorously to generate body heat, as this can actually cause you to lose heat faster. Additionally, immediately removing heavy clothing can lead to increased heat loss, and trying to climb back into the boat right away can be difficult and dangerous, especially if you are alone or injured.
