According to the 2010 Big Game Hunting Rules posted click here it is now legal to use blood tracking dogs. The actual text says on page 68: "The use of one blood-trailing dog controlled by leash during lawful hunting hours and within 72 hours of hitting a big game animal is allowed to track wounded animals and aid in recovery. A hound hunter permit is not required."
A big thank you to Scott Sorenson for the info. This great news is a cause for celebration in Idaho! Now hunters will be able to legally use dogs to help them recover wounded big game.
Great news!
