No one is saying a Barr hog is not a hog just saying if is a hog that has been caught before..... And for the hog u caught with no ears that is just saying your dogs are better than the one who TRIED to catch that hog before you did. Their is no proof that hog was caught before but a Barr hog pretty much tells u it has been caught and released. Just saying... I'm not against Barr hogs I just think a contest their should be a Barr pot !! That will solve all this ...
if you think for an instant that the hog caught with NO ears or a tail wasnt caught at 1 point in time, then your about as lost in smarts as a goose in a hale storm. if it cant be prooven the hog was caught, then how can you prove that a barr was dog/trap caught and then turned loose? iv got a dog that will barr a boar or give a sow a historectomy. in your line of thinking of proof, then the hog was nvr caught, just an attempt of being caught. what about boars born in a pen by a caught sow, then barred at a young age nd either got out, or turned loose? if you wanna play samantics, the barr was nvr caught by any means, but was born in captivity.
