Description
In July 1909 , the hunters of Okanogan organized a local Game Protective League . The stated purpose of the league was to "cultivate and engender among the sportsmen and citizens of Okanogan county high ideals and good practices in sportsmanship ; to strive for and aid in the strict enforcement of game laws ; to promote among its members and their friends a spirit of good fellowship and friendly rivalry in marksmanship. " Besides the goals of erecting a hunting lodge on the reservation lands and stocking the nearby lakes with fish and the air with birds , the league also sought to rid Okanogan county of coyote--a threat to game birds . This photograph is of a hunt held in February of 1910 . Only five coyote were killed and another hunt was scheduled for the next week . The Okanogan Drug Store , directly behind the hunters , rented rifles and shotguns for these outings .
