The Big Prairie region is suffering from a long, hard drought. The farmers there are ready give up and quit farming. The area hasn't seen a significant rain or a lasting snowfall in several years. No one can believe that a deep, lasting snowfall is coming let alone a dangerous one - with blessings. Bill gets Big Brute ready to plow in case of heavy snow.

Vinnie the Vine Snake visits Uncle Bob Devine this week. Vinnie lives mostly in Mexico. He blends beautifully with the vines that grow near lakes and rivers. Vinnie is 5 feet long and thin as a pencil. This makes him look like the tangled vines where he lives. Listen to all Vinnie has to say about his looks and life among the vines.

RB229 Moose Plague

  RANGER BILL for late Saturday morning, 2/14/26, is

RB229 Moose Plague  

Back in July of 2020, our own Joel Harris made a delightful and unexpected discovery when he found the previously unknown RANGER BILL story "Moose Plague".

"Moose Plague" appears to be a fairly early episode in the production of RANGER BILL. It has the #1 opening used from 1950 to mid 1959.

There is four feet of snow on the ground in Bill's forest district with another foot scheduled to fall over the next few hours. Road crews with huge rotary plows are just beginning to open up the main roads in the area. Border Town is just now getting the first of those rotary plows working their streets. Just as it looks as if life will begin to return to normal, a new problem arises. Moose herds from the north country invade border town looking for anything to eat.

Some residents want to shoot the moose to drive them away. Bill tells them that shooting will only cause the situation to become even more dangerous than it already is. The town demands a solution from Bill and his rangers NOW!!!

Bill decides that the moose are extremely hungry and need to be fed. Bill calls on some cargo planes to bring in tons of hay to feed the hungry animals. Then he has the hay carefully placed to lead the moose out of town.

Recall that Border Town was the subject of another episode where Frechy DeSalle's loggers were coming there to drink and gamble every weekend.

This recording is not the best, but I hope you will still enjoy it.
