“The ring absorbed his full weight just long enough to bury itself into the flesh beneath his knuckle.”

-Pat Durkin, Wedding Rings: Symbols of Love that Can Mangle Fingers

“Herndon and his wife, Carol, couldn’t see the wedding band on his pulpy, bloody finger as they raced to the hospital. They assumed the tree step had yanked it off and that they’d have to search for it later. The emergency room doctor spared them the trouble.” -Pat Durkin

This article is from the archives, but it’s one of our favorites. It is wedding season, after all.

“They took some length and girth measurements and determined it’d be close to the state record of 143 pounds and world record of 144 pounds. A biologist met the boat at a landing and officially weighed the paddlefish at 146 pounds, 11 ounces.” -Spencer Neuharth

Venison Smashburger Recipe

“Smashburgers are delicious because they’re seared in a hot pan, which creates a savory crust. It’s my favorite way to cook burgers. Unlike cooking over a grill where the fat drips into the flames, this allows that flavor to stay in the pan instead.” -Danielle Prewett

Video: Introducing the Weatherby Vanguard MeatEater Edition Rifle

“A good rifle is more than a tool. It’s not the boots that will eventually break down or the GPS that will ultimately crap out. A good rifle is meant to endure. A good rifle is meant to perform under any conditions. A good rifle is meant to pass to the next generation.” -Janis Putelis

Ask MeatEater: What Conservation Organizations Do You Recommend?

“If you like to hunt and fish, you should support conservation groups that are unequivocally in support of hunting and fishing rights. There are some groups that do great environmental work, but they pander to donors who dislike hunting and fishing.” -Steven Rinella
