On page 64 is says, Hunt any wildlife species with the aid of artificial light,
except predatory and unprotected wildlife (see pg 66).
See furbearer rules in Upland Game Seasons brochure
for specific regulations and other exceptions.
Page 66 says, Predatory and Unprotected Wildlife: Coyotes, skunks,
weasels, jackrabbits, raccoons and starlings are classified by
Idaho law as predatory and unprotected. They may be taken
in any number year-round and at any time by holders of the
appropriate valid Idaho hunting or trapping licenses, provided
such taking is not in violation of state, county or city laws,
ordinances, rules or regulations.
IS there anywhere that says anything about firing a rifle after dark? I am just trying to make sure there aren't any loopholes where someone could get in trouble. Rob.

Idaho also made it legal to track wounded big game with a dog.

Nothing posted above appears to be new. The use of artificial light for anything but racoons has always been illegal, except by permit, or on private property. The permit is difficult to get, and requires notification to F&G and Law Enforcement prior to the actual hunt. Hunting by artificial light on private property requires signed approval of the landowner.
Night hunting is allowed - "may be taken
in any number year-round and at any time by holders of the
appropriate valid Idaho hunting or trapping licenses" - but not necessarily by the use of lights.
All new regulations are highlighted in the booklet in yellow. Also, someone else might be able to correct any errors in my understanding.
