 I shoot over my dogs when I hunt alone. I have two dogs that that bay loose and dont mind gun shots. One dog will even back up more when I move in to make the shot. Just have to take your time and hunt loose baying dogs. Both will catch after the shot if the hog drops, if it doesnt drop they wont touch it. Had to make multiple shots on a sow one night and they didnt touch her until she was down.
 I think you can do it at night, you just have to be quite and helps to have someone else with you to hold a light.
 I like to shot over them sometimes. I can go alone and make a quick hunt by the house. I have used a 7x57,30cal and tuesday I used a 12ga slug. I can say all rounds work good. The slug flat out knocked him down. My 7x57 has yet to exit on a hog. Smallest being 75lbs.

** Tuesday night I drop my two grown dogs out. They bayed a good boar in a corn feild. No way for me to get in there and shoot so I broke the bay and the hog went into a creek. Thats the only bad thing this time of year. Impossible to shoot in corn that is 6 ft tall.
