    It's very tender meat. The taste is similar to rabbit, but slightly milder.

    There are only three ingredients. It's really not difficult. Paleo is designed to be simple.

    I catch my own. I love going batting with my family. Fresh air, exercise and a freezer full of bat meat.

    Most people harvest their own. You will need a large net suspended between two poles, and bat bait.

    How would I log that? Is it similar to nutting?
