F Troop Reporting for Duty 6

All of our fans loved Wrangler Jane. You know the regular people in flyover country. They liked how she was a straight talker and they loved the fact that she was a great shot. I saw her shoot a buffalo once from 300 yards away and she even got a rabbit on the run. Of course there was the scandal about the time she shot Bullwinkle while he was walking past the set one day but she had a good excuse. She had been drinking all night and had been really reamed out by Sgt O’Rourke when he woke up next to her that morning. So she wasn’t too steady on her pins. That was why she missed the shot. I mean she took out a piece of his left antler but at least she didn’t kill him. Anyway it all turned out ok. It became a symbol that if you wanted everyone to know you were gay, you would chip off a piece of your left antler.
