Night hunting for predators

Need some advice on night hunting I have never done it,do you call just like day time then turn your lights on? Any advice would be great.
 
Hands down the best I have seen is "Hunting the Night Shift" with Randy Watson and Randy Buker. I've hunted with Buker several times after seeing his video and what they demonstrate in the video is straight-up, spot-on, no lie.
Let me give you the best piece of advice you'll get regarding equipment - buy the LightForce spotlight and don't look back. I went through 4 different spotlights before buying the LightForce . . . wish I would have saved the time, money and frustration from the beginning.
I've been night hunting predators in NE Montana for 4+ years now - after safety, your equipment is a priority.
Best of luck.

Its our main form of shooting here in Aus. Drive around with a lightforce spotlight til we see the eyes of a fox. Turn the car and all lights off and put a red filter on the light. Whistle a few times then light back on to locate him again. You only need the filter if they are a bit wary of the spotlight. Once we find him and ready to shoot, we take a quick look around for other foxes before making the shot. There is a strict ritual we follow too. Kids get to stand on the back and watch. Older kids might get to hold the spotlight. Anyone new out with us gets the spotlight initally. Adults shoot and swap driving and lighting duties as required. Person who misses gets heckled. Person who hits thier target has to walk and retrieve it.
