Summary

The law updates Idaho’s wildlife statutes to prohibit hunting from moving motorized vehicles, using aircraft or drones to locate game, and employing night‑vision, thermal imaging, and certain trail cameras during the fall hunting season. It creates a special permit for physically disabled hunters to use a stationary vehicle and sets penalties for violations, including misdemeanors and permit revocation. The changes aim to protect fair‑chase hunting and prevent high‑tech advantages.
