🚨 HUNTERS, ARE YOU READY? 🚨

Welcome to something never before seen in Ohio — the first-ever season-long coyote tournament points series!

Join the Ohio Coyote Sunset Raid Series and test your skills against the best hunters in the state. Every hunt counts, every point matters, and every event supports youth sports and outdoor programs across Ohio. 

🔥 WHAT’S NEW? 🔥

🏆 A Season-Long Hunt for Supremacy! One-day tournaments from September to February, all leading up to the EPIC 2-day End of Season Showdown in March!
🐺 3-Dog Stringer Format with Big, Small, and Most Coyote Side Pots at every event!
🌑 Tournaments Scheduled Around the Moon for the best hunting conditions!
📆 We Work with Your Season! Our schedule avoids conflicts with Ohio’s 2025/2026 Deer Hunting season and the Deerassic Coyote Tournament so you never have to choose — or can do both!
💰 BIG PRIZES. BIG COMPETITION. BIGGER PURPOSE.

🎯 HUNT FOR A CAUSE 🎯

We officially have Non-Profit status in Ohio so these tournaments aren’t just about competition — they’re about making a difference.
✅ A portion of every entry goes directly toward supporting youth programs, hunting education, and outdoor sports for the next generation.
✅ By competing, you’re helping ensure that Ohio’s hunting heritage is passed down to the young hunters who will carry the torch in years to come.
