poacher3161 1,766 Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 I use springers but the best bushing terriers i have seen have been russels and russel crosses. Quote Link to post
stormyboy 1,352 Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 My best have been plummers-they will own a line and sing like hounds. Quote Link to post

Big bald beautiful 1,231 Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 I enjoy bushing with terriers..but it isnt when they go to ground and your not ready for it. buy a locator collar or keep away from land they may have an earth/drain Quote Link to post

mighty celt 996 Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 we use about 8 r 9 terriers between the 3 of us but the land we hunt is full of cover and big breaks get some great sport there. Quote Link to post

AINT THAT THE TRUTH !!! SPRINGERS WOULD BE MY CHOICE ...... BEAGLES ARE AS FECKIN NIGHTMARE ..... THEY CAN HUNT BUT IT AINT EASY STOPPING THEM .... AND THATS A MAJOR FACTOR IN THE GAME DUCKWING Quote Link to post
stormrider8 59 Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 This russel is a very good bushing dog.. Quote Link to post
wirral countryman 2,110 Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 I've used plummer's and russell's for a long time now and find they hunt very well,they miss nothing and will work all day,some day's the terrier's kill more than the guns,I agree that knowing the ground you hunt is very important as well as your individual dogs that make up your team,some open up when close and some only need a sniff to set them off(barking),other's can be silent killer's,but one things for sure its very good sport and takes a bit of beating for excitement,atb,wirralman Quote Link to post
