Shooting at night greatly increases the danger of shooting something other than what you intended to shoot. A thorough knowledge of the area helps, but it is still no guaranty of a safe backstop at night just because you simply can not see what is in the background.
Here in Nevada it is legal to spotlight predators and varmints at night almost anywhere in the state (with a couple of exceptions). I've done ADC for decades, including at night, have a thorough knowledge of the ranches and farms I do it at, and all of them are isolated by miles and miles of open and uninhabited land. Even so, every time I take a shot at night I am also taking a chance. While property facilities, equipment and roads are easy enough to avoid shooting towards, there is no way of knowing for sure if ranch vehicles, livestock or game species have wandered into your line of fire. So shooting at night means taking the responsibility of doing so, including if you shoot something you did not intend to shoot. I help my chances some by only doing night duty in the wee hours long after ranch hands are asleep, avoid fields that are known to contain livestock and I hunt mostly by moon and star light that along with property knowledge lets me "see" farther to pick my shooting lanes. I only click on a light for final target verification and the shot if either are needed. But that still doesn't completely eliminate the danger of shooting at night - I'm still taking a chance.
In some cases its no better in full daylight either though, like tree squirrels that are silhouetted by sky or any game that is skylined for example. Both carries the same danger. Most know better than to shoot skylined game, but squirrel hunters shoot up into trees all the time without a second thought.
Just remember that every time you pull a trigger, you will be accountable for it, so choose your shots wisely.
IMO-YMMV
