Rabbit scent in a bottle

Where can you get rabbit scent for training and is it effective in training young pups?

With spring almost here, they will be plenty of rabbit scent to train pups on. My advice to you is, let the scent stay in the bottle and use wild rabbits for training. Put a pork-chop bone on a string and they will follow it just as good. Good hunting to you..

I tried it ...waste of money ....spend the money on real rabbit(s) from a farmers auction ...We can get 4 or 5 for $10. Thats money well spent.

Be sure to explain to your pup in detail that you have rabbit training scent and not rabbit breaking scent. Only the guy selling the product knows for sure. :lol:

Any bottle scent is dead scent. No way it can be the same. I agree with the statements above.

Cool Thanks for all the info not sure the wife would care for me training with a bought rabbit but at least I know not to buy scent.
I think I'll trap and relocate a few to were I hunt and that should help with the training some
Again Thanks for the info everyone
