Most of the time just make 3 v notches in left ear and I barley cut the tail anymore I don't want any hunters knowing its a BARR that way they won't shoot em and I get another chance at em one day plus them old Barrs get smart like to set on there ass when there caught I like a nice tail to grab just makes it a little easier
Ain't nothing worse then reaching for a tail on a big hog and coming up empty handed
