Pennsylvania Game Commission is on lookout for rabbit hemorrhagic disease

With the opening of rabbit season, the Pennsylvania Game Commission is asking hunters to keep an eye out for evidence of rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus 2 (RHDV2), which is rapidly spreading in the West and threatening to move eastward.
Since it was first documented in the U.S. in 2020, RHDV2 has impacted wild and domestic rabbit and hare populations in 29 states, and while it hasn’t surfaced east of the Mississippi River, its arrival in Pennsylvania may be just a matter of time, said commission small game mammal biologist Emily Boyd.

Three of Ohio’s six fish hatcheries are receiving much-needed upgrades, ODNR Division of Wildlife Hatcheries Administrator Chris French told Ohio Wildlife Council members on Oct. 2.
