US Fish & Wildlife reviewed their status under federal ESA guidelines in 2010, but they are still considered a threatened species:

Here is their final ruling from that review process: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2010-10-...pdf#page=2
I fully understand Idaho Fish & Game issues state licenses and regulations (I get a new license and rule book every year), but this is an interesting disconnect because federal agencies are supposed to have "preemptive authority" over state and local regs.
