Hunting Tips
The bat is a small animal which lives in caves. Because of its size, it can be quite tricky to hunt; but you have to be aware of its habits. As you can see on our map above there are three important spots where you can hunt Little Brown Bats in Red Dead Redemption 2.
Visiting any of these hunting locations during the night is not advisable, because most bats are outside hunting, being nocturne creatures. Hence, check the caves on our map during the day when Bats hide from the light. Most of them can be found on the walls or ceilings.
Use only the bow with small game arrows to score perfect quality kills.
