Shoot me a pm if you want, I don't want to start a big controversy on the board.

I'm looking for feedback from those of you who claim an outdoors related business to help with taxes. While the year's still fairly young I'm starting to think about it. I'm not as interrested in turning a profit so much as I am the write off for expenses (boat maintance, scouting trips for clients etc...).

If you are claiming this type of stuff or have exp. with it please let me know so I'll know what I can and can't do to make it work. Or would it be better to talk to an accountant?

Would I have to have an article published in a magazine to claim I'm a writer (wanna-be)?

thanks
