A sounder is a flock of pigs.  The idea of firing at a sound is so foreign to me that the idea of anyone doing it and worse, actually admitting to doing it is, well, foreign!

We have someone here who fired at a patch of deer hair that he was certain was a deer.  Yesterday he got sentenced to nine months prison for man slaughter.  Apparently he was head of the Deer Stalkers Association.  And the patch of deer hair he saw?  It was actually a Hi Viz hood, or so I'm told.  Facts still to be confirmed.

I guessed it was something like that. Here in the US it's called a herd of pigs.

Up where I am, the climate is too cold for domestic pigs gone feral, but Russian wild boar are gradually spreading south from Vermont. Some have already turned up in Massachusetts.

i dont think that the climate is as tough on the pigs as we all thought,some farmers thought that. and we have lots of them around here.and our temp ranges from +40 to -40 not always that extream but we get very cold and very warm and I see them in winter on or by the highway from Blainlake to Battleford every once in a while.and down around lost mountain lake I hear they are a problem.

Pigs are tough critters and seem to be marvellous survivors.  There's an antelope that should be introduced into all parts of the world (maybe not snow conditions but one never knows).  It's the African Duiker - they do well anywhere and are good eating.
