this is the first 2023 RHDV2 confirmation in this county and shows renewed RHD activity in a county that was hard hit at the start of the spring 2020 outbreak. The RHDV2+ wild rabbits were found within 20 miles of Alpine TX. A TPWD wildlife biologist said there were still other live wild rabbits being seen around the area.
