I saw a while back that Idaho does not allow lighted nocks for archery hunting. I was looking through the 2020 regulations and do not see any mention on lighted nocks now. Are they going to be allowing them this fall?
 
The 2020 regs say this on page 100:

"it is unlawful to pursue or kill big game animals: ...With any electronic or tritium-powered device attached to an arrow, bolt or bow."

I would interpret "electronic device attached to an arrow" to include lighted nocks, especially since Idaho has never allowed them in the past. Unfortunately, I don't think this has changed for 2020. Idaho might still be the only state that doesn't allow them...

Good catch. I read that and skipped arrow. I thought in prior years they had spelled it out more specifically using the phrase lighted nocks, so that was the kind of language I was looking for.

Thanks!
