night hunt

After-dark stalking expedition

A night hunt is a hunt conducted after dark, typically for nocturnal game like raccoons, opossums, or wild boar: We're going on a night hunt for coyotes this weekend.

The term also appears in fantasy and horror contexts, describing supernatural creatures or hunters who pursue prey under cover of darkness.
