Ohio Sunset Raid Series
3-Coyote Stringer Tournaments
New Ohio Coyote Points Series coming September 2025 running through March 2026
3-Coyote Stringer Tournaments
2025-2026 Coyote season (September 2025 to March 2026)
π¨ HUNTERS, ARE YOU READY? π¨
Verhovecβs Coyote Tournamentβs is bringing something NEVER before seen in Ohio β the FIRST-EVER season-long points series for coyote tournaments, The OHIO COYOTE SUNSET RAID SERIES!
This is your chance to battle it out all season long for bragging rights, big prizes, and ultimate hunting glory β all while giving back to the next generation of outdoorsmen and women.
π₯ WHATβS NEW? π₯
π 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!
πΊ 3-Dog Stringer Format with Big, Small, and Most Coyote Side Pots at every event!
π Tournaments Scheduled Around the New Moon for the best hunting conditions!
π We Work with Your Season! Our schedule avoids conflicts with Ohioβs 2025/2026 Deer Hunting season and the Deerassic Coyote Tournament so you never have to choose β or can do both!
π° BIG PRIZES. BIG COMPETITION. BIGGER PURPOSE.
π― HUNT FOR A CAUSE π―
Weβve officially applied for Non-Profit status in Ohio so these tournaments arenβt just about competition β theyβre about making a difference.
β
A portion of every entry goes directly toward supporting youth programs, hunting education, and outdoor sports for the next generation.
β
By competing, youβre helping ensure that Ohioβs hunting heritage is passed down to the young hunters who will carry the torch in years to come.
