Bully used live wire to capture quarry (8)
I believe the answer is:
domineer
'bully' is the definition.
(I know that domineer is a more specific form of the action bully)
'live wire to capture quarry' is the wordplay.
'live wire' becomes 'doer' (I've seen this in another clue).
'to capture' is an insertion indicator.
'quarry' becomes 'mine' (type of mine).
'doer' enclosing 'mine' is 'DOMINEER'.
'used' is the link.
(Other definitions for domineer that I've seen before include "Dine more and be overbearing" , "Browbeat" , "Behave imperiously" , "Ride roughshod over" , "Deem iron to be changed to overbear" .)
