Crow & fox Hunting
Crows can offer a great extension to the normal hunters'
opportunities. In many states, one can hunt crows every day all year with the
exception of a month or two. They also can offer the wing shooter a different
type of practice that clay pigeons can't offer -- unpredictable flying
patterns. Although crows are plentiful and feed on dead animals, they are
actually very intelligent and have excellent vision, but mastering these
animals is not too difficult. However, there are a few things to keep in mind.
Crows are social animals, which means they are always
talking to each other and traveling together. However, in my experience, when
crows respond to call, normally, one bird responds first to survey the
situation. I call this bird the 'scout'. It is very important not to allow the
scout to be suspicious that anything is out of the norm. If you are 100%
positive that you can take the scout when he comes in, you may do so, but if
there is any doubt, it is wisest to let the scout make a few passes and return
to his buddies to let them know that everything is normal. If you shoot and
miss the scout or spook it in some way, then the other crows will not respond
to your call. If he does bring his friends with him on his next response, then
you and your hunting companions should all get some quick shooting.
The Spokane Fox Theater provides a venue for entertainment
and cultural affairs using state-of-the-art and updated technology. Built to
inspire audiences, the theater is home to Spokane Symphony.
The Fox is located at the heart of Davenport Arts District
on Monroe Street. This 1931 innovative Art Deco movie theater represents undying love for the arts.
Opening - The Fox opened in a dazzling night with searchlights
roaming the sky on September 3, 1931. Attended by 30,000 people, the event
showcased the world premiere of 'Merely Mary Ann,' a movie top-billed by
Charles Farrell and Janet Gaynor. Standing with murals, fixtures, and a striking
staircase, the theater within days became the most luxurious in the city. The
theater also staged concerts for its first three decades.
Decline - The Theater experienced a long, steady decline
beginning in the 1950s. Audiences were fascinated by sub-urban movie theaters.
This period eventually led to first dividing the theater's balcony into two
smaller theaters in 1975. Later, it became a triplex. For the years that
followed until 2000, the theater became a discount movie house. 'Gladiator,'
featuring Russel Crowe in the lead role was the last movie shown here. A
scheduled demolition was underway which will convert the theater to a parking
lot in 2000.
Renovation - Recognizing the theater's potential as an outstanding concert hall, the Spokane Symphony acquired Spokane Fox Theater and
saved it from demolition.
As previously mentioned, crows have excellent vision. This
is why it is imperative that you dress in full camouflage and set up next to
some type of cover. You also must remain completely motionless until it is time
to take the shot. Obviously, you will be using a shotgun. I recommend using 5
or 6 shot, since these birds can sometimes be tough to take down, especially at
extended ranges.
As for calls, crows respond readily to a wide variety of
calls. Generally, crow sounds such as Fox Pro's Crow Gathering, Crow Fight, or
Crow party. You can also use crow sounds mixed with owl or hawk sounds to
entice crows to respond.
Finally, crow decoys also work well to ensure these animals
that your set up is safe for them to arrive. Plastic decoys that stick in the
ground or trees can be purchased for less than $10, or you can make your own
with black cardboard cut into the shape of a crow silhouette.
If crows do not respond within 5 or 10 minutes, or if I take a few shots, I will relocate to a new area and repeat the process. Just remember, always hunt safely.
Saving the theater from utter destruction meant to raise
massive funds. Not only was the building's infrastructure outdated but the
acoustics was also inadequate for a revered concert hall. Luckily, the
fund-raising campaign was very extensive with Spokane Symphony staging the
lead.
First, $1.3 million was accumulated to acquire the facility
from over 1,300 contributors. For the restoration, a total of $31 million was
raised to thoroughly renovate the old facade particularly its Art Deco
embellishments. 'Save the Fox' campaign was supported by foundations,
corporations, private donors, federal and local governments, and the use of
Historic and New Markets Tax Credits. After a long-overdue, the Fox opened
its doors again in November 2007.
Spokane Fox Theater was renamed Martin Woldson Theater at
the Fox in honor of Myrtle Woldson's father. Myrtle Woldson donated $3 million
that drove the theater's restoration venture.
As a venue for a variety of entertainment, business and
private events, the theater houses these artistic constituents:
Spokane Symphony Orchestra is the anchor tenant with a
70-piece orchestra presenting critically acclaimed performances of the world's
most respected soloists. The orchestra provides a wide variety of exceptional
educational experiences.
