I read this forum with great intrest but I'm ignorant to some of the terms y'all use. I thought a "barr" was just another way to refer to a boar. Obviously there is a difference. So What is a "barr" and what is a "sounder?" Thanks!

A Barr is a boar that has been cut and released.
A sounder is a group of pigs. Sort of like a pride of lions. A older sow with her female offspring and their young.

Just to all to what Elkhunter said....Barr is short for Barrow, the term used to describe a domestic male pig that has been castrated (without his oysters). Think steer vs. bull in cattle or gelding vs. stallion in horses.

A term we used when I lived and hunted in hog country was Schitlo Duvem. One guy would sneak out to the edge of a field and come back and report how many hogs were in the field. You knew it was going to be fun if he said there was a schitlo duvem.
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
