There is this thing, I think called a hunting regulation, that explains it pretty clear...
Artificial light is strictly forbidden, but you can apply for a night hog permit for use on private land.
Night shooting permits are given to land owners only. However a land owner can allow others to use the permit.
Good luck getting one though, most game wardens won't give them out to just anyone. I was lucky to get one for hogs with a bow and was told I wouldn't be given one for guns.

I like this guy.
Notify the local game warden and tell him your shooting yotes or hogs.
At night??? No
Permits are only issued to the land owner, meaning your name has to be on the deed. And it pretty much requires you use a light or night vision. I just went through this last year on my uncle's land. It's possible to find a warden that will let you get away some some stuff but I highly doubt it will fly on public. We had a warden around the house that would let us use 22s and spot lights but we had to call him every time we did it and tell him exactly were we would be. But that was a long time ago.
Plus the use of spot lights and 22s is common practice on coons around here.
