I got this hog last Thursday night with my Eotech/AR setup (6.8). We spotted a group at about 400 yards with a thermal device, then snuck to them and used our lights to get on target and make the shot. As soon as I hit this one with the green light he bolted! I dropped him with a head shot and then smacked another small hog in the ensuing melee.. Sorry for the copywright marks, I don't have a clean image to post yet.  For those that say an Eotech doesn't work at night, I say...HOGwash! LOL! I've lost count of how many hogs we've killed with that setup. To be fair, we kill a bunch with traditional scopes both during the day and night as well.

I heard from a cousin's freinds uncle's nephew's brother in law that it won't work, why should I believe someone that's done it first hand?  Good shootin especially at night!

Nice hog, but I have never heard people say an Eotech won't work at night.
