Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Utah man hacks WY and gets two moose tags

I'm w/Inmon on this one. powdr

You old facks don't really understand technology very well, but this seems like a fault on the WY DFG website, than an actually forced attempt at besieging their network. First of all, if the site runs on scripts, which most do, by not allowing scripts to run on ones computer it actually can break certain websites. Not allowing scripts to run on your comp even though you visit a certain web address is akin to pulling up to a certain stoplight and not allowing the local bum to wash your windshield. They talk about a 20 min script that is supposed to prevent this, instead their database should automatically disqualify anyone who currently has a tag for such species. Then again they probably wouldn't have this issuse if they didn't use pajeets via H1B system to program their faulty website. I'm not saying this man is 100% without some fault, but failure to know that he cannot apply for more tags, when the system allows him to is a crime how/why? From what I've read it seems the fault is on the DFG and they are trying to smear this man in an attempt to provide closure and deference against their own faulty website. Feel free to provide evidence against the above if more information is available.

Gee, and here all you gotta do is work for F&G to draw a tag...

You are very much like a good share of people that inhabit this country now that blame everything on everyone but the culprit---YOURSELF! The guy was a cheating SOB that figured out how to tamper with the system and allow him to apply 99 times for a tag that you're only allowed to apply for one time. Saying that the G&F had anything wrong with their system to cause or allow him to do what he did is pure BS!

Are you kidding? Most states, and I'm sure WY is one of them, tell you how many tags you're eligible for. He illegally broke into their computer system to steal an extra tag. He's a POS and needs whatever punishment they give him. It's not fault of the WY fish and game that he broke the law. It's his fault and his alone. Maybe their system is less secure than it should be but that doesn't excuse the actions of a criminal. If he hadn't broken the law, he wouldn't have tried to get in to steal the tag.

On the face of it I agree, but one never knows how a prosecutor may "interpret" the law.........

I've no doubt they haven't thought of applying the Lacey Act.

To my knowledge, the Lacey act only applies to LIVE animals and plants. It controls the introduction of non-native species while allowing for reintroduction of endangered species.. It was clearly violated with the wolf introduction because they quickly killed off or bred the native Idaho wolves out of existence.
It's been amended several times but every change I could find only applied to live animals, not dead ones.

No, they shouldn't. And they won't be.

This would all be fine if the number of applications weren’t subject to explicit regulation. The rules are clear and whether the computer allows it or not the applicant is responsible to know the rules.

A firearm allows me to shoot more animals than I have tags for; can I blame the gun?

He hacked the system. Hacking is a purposeful act meant to get away w/ something otherwise forbidden.

Ironic the guy is from Utah where you can buy a tag for whatever whenever if you have the money.

Truth, most of these furriners on visa are terrible programmers. Send them back.
