Tax Time

Dave Hoyes is having a fight with Montour County, Pa., officials over how to classify his business. The county says it’s a regular business and thus has to pay a $386 tax assessment. But Hoyes says he’s a farmer, which leads to a tax assessment of just $289.50. Hoyes sells deer urine, which is used by hunters to mask their scent, for $9 per ounce. “I’m a deer farmer,” he declared to county commissioners.
