It is always arranged chronologically by start time.

There are two basic ways to claim vehicle operating expenses. Actual costs multiplied by the percentage that is business use is one way. Suppose you drove the vehicle 10,000 miles for the year and 2,000 miles were documented for business use. 20 percent of the actual costs (gas, repairs, tires, insurance, license and depreciation) can be your deduction.

Try describing the Silver State Tag without sounding like an infomercial. It simply cannot be done. With all the extra gear and services a person can win you are constantly saying the phrase, “but wait, there’s more!”

The Silver State Tag already allows hunters the opportunity to hunt one of four big game species (mule deer, Rocky Mountain elk, Nelson (desert) bighorn sheep and pronghorn antelope) anywhere in the state, but the winner also walks away with thousands of dollars’ worth of hunting gear and services.
