Summing up the effort,
Meyers said, "We lost a little

quarter but I think we gave
Mitchell quite a scare."
Despite the loss, the Cards
will carry a clean slate into
league play as they travel to
Wheeler this Friday for the
team's first night game of the
year. Wheeler is winless in
three starts but Meyers said
the Cards can't afford to take
them lightly.
"They are a young team,
just like us," Meyers said.
"They look like a hard hitting
team."

Taking advantage of excel

Game biologist, Glenn

will see a 30 per cent increase
this season over last year's
total of 7,500 hunters. He said
the anticipated 10,000 hunters
