We hunt a lot of predators in Wyoming, mostly coyotes. To hunt predators at night with artificial light you must be doing predator control for a landowner on his/her property. Most folks use a predator call and hunt during the early morning or late evening. A good call in the hands of an expert caller works exceedingly well.
Typically, when I call coyotes or fox I take another shooter with me. One person uses a center fire rifle such as the 22-250 and the other uses a shotgun. A fox will come to a call very quickly whereas as coyote may take a bit longer. Predator hunting is a fast growing sport and very popular here. Like you, we are experiencing a real problem with feral cats in our farm country. They really raise heck with the upland birds.
