So far it's never been found in Idaho. That's not saying it isn't here, it just hasn't been found yet. We have a number of high fence 'shooter bull' elk operations going. They always make me nervous. A number of years ago there was an escape in eastern ID when a bear tore down a section of fence. The governor issued a carte blanche on any ear tagged elk outside a fence in hopes of preventing them from reaching the wild herds. The elk owner threatened to sue any hunter who shot one. The hunter would have won in court but it would have cost him to defend himself. It was a legal fiasco for a while.
