Then Dutch is gored by a huge bull. Now Dutch is the one who needs help, but his neighbors won't give him any.

RB107 Petticoat Rangers

  Our RANGER BILL for late Saturday morning, 10/24/2026, is a classic:

RB107 Petticoat Rangers

Bill doesn't have enough men for all the work around the national forest. He and his rangers have to work 18 hours a day. Bill has a solution to the problem - women volunteers in the fire towers. The rangers refuse to allow women rangers. Will the rangers work themselves to death or will they give Bill's PETTICOAT RANGERS a chance? Can female rangers do a ranger's work if they get that chance? In my opinion, this is one of the funniest Ranger Bill stories ever! You get to hear some of Stumpy's funniest and most famous lines! And you get to see a little of what life was like back in the 1950's.
