First check your local game laws. Many state laws are different and could wind you up in some trouble.

Some states like texas (I believe) allow spotlighting and shooting from moving trucks. I have read about it and seen it done on tv.

Other states will get you if you even have a light on with the engine running, and a unloaded gun in the car even in the trunk.

Indiana allows night hunting as long as a light that can be seen for 500 feet (Or maybe yards) is burning the entire time of the outing. No spotlighting from a moving powered device, car, truck, Atv, boat with motor, ECT. read the local law first.

I use one of the lights that goes above the scope and only use it if I have to. I have 2 of the clipon flashlights that i normally keep on all the time with red lenses. I try to call where i have some light from the moon and a snow cover or a harvested bean or corn field. I got a large scope that gathers light with an illumanated dot and that helps to shoot without using the light much. I normally leave the big light off at least untill i see movement. Coyotes seem more light sensitive than fox that i used to hunt this way.

The call I have is prettty home made. I have a 8 ohm horn speaker with about 30 feet of speaker cable and both a sony waterproof walkman cassette and sony cd/mp3 player with some different tapes and a couple of cd/mp3's i got off the internet over time. I rigged both right and left channel to mono on the speaker and it is all right but could be a bit more volume when it gets real cold. Heck i used a sony boom box for several years. Not a sony salesman but they do make quality little players.

I use some type of decoy also. I have a kitten decoy i got at Cracker barrel that bounces around and i couple of rabbit skins and a ball that bounces and a feather cat toy that works well in the fence rows like a stuck bird. I think the decoy with the sound works best. Normally a rabbit roadkill or just the fur from a couple of hunted rabbits will work cheap.

If you get crows, owls (At night) , hawks, feral cats, neighborhood dogs. (I can't tell you how many beagle dogs i have called in with rabbit in distress tapes. ) You are doings thing correct.
