AHBA is north east and MIDwest only currently only trial west of the missisippi is in missori and wisconsin
BHCA hunt test which is close to an ahba hunt and AKC fields trial are held in out there IF you talk to Sara - on agility she is also an AKC field trialer
AKC and ahba trial differ substanitial
AKC rabbits are beaten out of the brush by humans and a brace ie 2 dogs are put on the rabbit train and the dog are judge on there tracking of the rabbit
AHAB runs small pack 3-6 dogs and doga must produce there own rabbits.

you would of liked the Open cast I judged on sunday 3 rabbits run in the hour of judging time and it did not take more than two minutes before any one of the rabbits were jumped and the running was on. But to be technical what dog do a night to the moon as a call to see if any other dogs are around is a howl. What hounds do when in a chase is called a bay or bawl.
