Could have been a really bad night.

I never were my wedding ring to hunt or work. Don't want to catch it on a step if I slip and rip my finger off, same with work. It's made out of gold and if I lost it my wife probably would kill me.

I used to take mine off all the time. I wouldn't wear it at work and I'd hang it in my locker. My locker was robbed twice over those years but they didn't find the ring. I figured it was just a matter of time until it would be stolen or lost so I stopped wearing it. That was 30 years ago. Now, the thing won't fit over my knuckle so I can't wear it anyway. I don't wear any hardware. No rings, no watches, no chains, and definitely no earrings or other weird hardware shoved thru my body. I still don't get why men wear that crap.

Gene Wensel had his finger almost ripped off while climbing a tree a few years ago.
 
I lost mine in a layover once. I went kayaking at the beach. Tried riding some waves in. Got toppled on some coral. Was bleeding and still some distance from shore. Scrambled for the kayak. Made it to shore. No ring.........
That didn’t go over well

I went hunt a few days back. Turned out to be a seccesfull hunt. I ended up shooting a doe. Tracked her down gutted her drug her to the top of the hill. Headed to the barn to get the ranger to get her out. Something was missing!!! But I couldn't quit put my finger on it. But then I did! As I reached up to grab the steering wheel I noticed my wedding ring was gone.... I'm gonna hear about this! Now my ring is not expensive it's literally a 20 25$ tungsten ring from wal mart. But I do not want to go home to my wife and say o guess what I lost dear! Long story short after trying to figure where I lost it I realised where it was. When I pulled the guts out of her my ring came off with it when I set them down. I can't be the only one this has happened to!

I had a buddy who was a dirty cheater. He would take his ring off and put it on his keychain. Well I learned 2 things from him. One was putting my ring on my keychain when I’m working on the car etc. The other was don’t cheat. His life was ruined after he got caught lol

I never wear my ring when hunting. Ever see what happens when it gets caught on a tree step? Seen some real bad injuries over the years where skin was ripped right off the bone when jumping down from that last step and the ring got caught above.

I always wear work gloves. Never thought of it as a way to prevent a degloving injury.
