heres how i do it
have dogs in the back of the ute, unchained, so they can jump off when they want
drive around spotlighting(lamping u lot call it) till quarry is spotted, get in a suitable position if possible, tell the dog to get on and follow quarry with the light till the dog makes a catch
at times we walk, with dogs on leads and then let them chase, or i will walk with dog off lead to hunt up for himself and spotlight
whether i hunt with 1,2,3 or more doesnt matter
and yes EAT what you can, i hate waste, i try and use as much as possible
