The state of Colorado has an extensive explanation for wildlife friendly fencing
Maybe try the diplomatic approach
Like ... dude .. let me build some of these ramps in your fence
Maybe get the game wardens out there Maybe idaho has a program to build wildlife safe fencing
Maybe be the good country neighbor? Ok?

How do you get trespassers to wear the collars so they get lit?

You make it a law......duh.

Did he need a permit to put up the fence? And if so, did he have it?

F&G says they have no say in fencing, which is kind of sad if it’s harming/killing wildlife. By that logic I might be able to argue I can kill a cow elk on my 5 acres. Obviously I never would, but game should be protected whether it’s death by fence with 1ft spears sticking out the top or a rifle.

Still waiting to hear back from the county.

Over the years I have seen plenty of deer and elk dead in low barbed wire fence. I doubt a chain link fence is any more dangerous to the wildlife. Sounds like you just don't like looking at the fence.
