Have any lads ever bushed terriers at night to flush quarry to lurchers on lamp.Im quite new to working dogs 4yrs and never heard of it.

Id not have terriers bushing at night,its hard enough to keep control and eyes on in daylight,in some locations i could see the benefits,a risk to far for me though.

Could end up with a lurcher picking up a terrier on the beam

Really?.
why not? Anything is a possibility. Some lurchers are tunnel vision and chase anything thats in the beam. If that terrier crosses the beam its a possibility that a lurcher could try and pick it up. Not worth trying it out.

What if there is a sheep or cow or horse that is "in the beam", lurchers just chasing anything should be left at home maybe.

My last walk every night consists of at least 3 terriers,a lurcher and my lamp,never had any problems and they catch quite a lot, I've also lamped a terrier on its own on rabbits,she caught 3 out of 4 so nothing unusual round here,WM

Often walk with the terrier and lurcher and lamp late evening and cant say I haven't had any issues as the terrier regularly disappears into cover only to reappear several minutes later. Achieves the aim of knackering them Out though and have caught some bits and bobs when out. Got to be sensible about where you trudge with them though and helps if the terrier is too ignorant atb

And no ones's pointed out to this newbie that the reason one lamps is because that's when the quarry is out away from it's refuge.

Hence the reason for the lamp.

Bushing during the day is to get the quarry to leave it's refuge.

 

The only practical use of combining a lamp and terriers is when ratting, or a dig going into the night.
