CHEYENNE – Charges were bound over to Laramie County District Court last week for a Utah man accused of tampering with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s computer system to successfully apply for two nonresident moose hunting tags in two months.
Byron Oldham was charged with an intellectual property crime of modifying data in a computer network. If convicted, he could face three years in prison.
According to charging documents:
An application development programmer for Wyoming Game and Fish contacted authorities about a possible breach of the computer system.
Oldham applied for two limited quota, non-resident moose applications in the Wyoming Game and Fish Department electronic license application system on Jan. 25, 2016, and again on Feb. 25, 2016.
“Moose are highly regulated, with limited quota licenses, and are coveted by hunters,” the probable cause affidavit states. “By Wyoming statute, applicants may only apply for one moose license per year.”
The online system is designed to “time out” in 20 minutes. But authorities believe that Oldham was able to write a computer script that kept the application button active past its 20-minute window, thereby allowing him to apply for a second moose tag.
On May 10, 2016, Wyoming Game and Fish notified authorities that the computer system identified Oldham as having attempted to enter a big horn sheep license at 4:22 a.m. He attempted to enter the application 99 times during one minute.
The timing of the attempts coincided with the drawing of big horn sheep, moose and mountain goat licenses.
A search of Oldham revealed that he is the owner of two hunting businesses – GotMyTag LLC and HuntinTool LLC.
GotMyTag is a license application service that applies for tags and licenses for hunters, including in Wyoming.
The Wyoming Game and Fish database also revealed that Oldham had an “extensive” license application history.
He accumulated five preference points for antelope, 10 for big horn sheep, 11 for elk and 11 for moose. Preference points allow people better odds at drawing a tag for hard-to-draw animals. It requires an extra fee to get such an advantage.

Remember when he was digging up old threads to promote himself?

Do you ever judge someone based on first impression, then feel bad about it only to later realize that the guy really was a "piece-of-work"?

Sounds like he should of quit while ahead.

Unbelievable what some people will do to try to gain an advantage and cheat the system

I hope he gets the three year max prison sentence and people drop his service!

I don't see this ending well for him.

I hate thieves... and game thieves are at the top of the list for me.

Most of us would take every LEGAL advantage to draw a tag of out desires but there are only those few rogue fellows who would actually cheat the system to gain that advantage.

This sounds like it was cheating by design and the benefit would be more points accumulated every time he didn't draw the tag. Clever thief....right up until he got caught. LOL

First impressions and gut feelings are almost 100% correct.
