night hunt with spotlight or dayhunts?

[AceInTheWild]

my father and brother and i generally do a night hunt and listen to the dows howl to the moon all night long and dont really get any shots off. an old dude that lives out by moses lake told us that the cyotes out there are night hunters and wont come in to calls in the day. was this dude just blowing smoke or is there any truth to this statement? whats the difference in a day hunt. is there alot of glassing hillsides and what not? we are going out again in a few weeks just wanted to do a bit of homework to get a betters day hunt.
