Rabbit training scent is a total waste of your money. If you cannot find a wild bunny to train with , then buy a domesticated one. Your hound will learn much, much more.

When my 2 pups were 10 weeks old, I paid $7 or $8 for a bottle of rabbit scent. I dragged a scent flavored rag around the neighborhood, up into the woods and finally hung it up in a tree. The pups followed right on the trail all the way to the tree then looked up at the rag. Training complete, no where to go from there. Like everyone else says, it's a waste of hard earned buckage.
