It doesn’t get much better than that!! As others have said, there’s more to the vests and many of us understand that. I’ve never chatted with Greg, but he always comes across as good people, just like Tombo!! Congratulations on your new vest buddy! Kudos to Greg and the Mrs. for helping you out!!

Can't add anything more than what has already been said in these comments.  They all just demonstrate the quality of the folks that have gathered here as turkey hunters from across the country that share the same passion.   :icon_thumright:

I have a number of local friends who, from time to time when I tell them about stuff going on here, ask me why I hang out on an internet forum?  Simply put,...this thread clearly demonstrates the reason why....   :)

Congratulations on your vest.  Of all the things we value in life, friends can be one of the things we take for granted.  Greg just proved why we should not forget their value.  I have also reached  out to Greg many times offline ; he has always been very gracious with his help.  Truly a class act.

Awesome story Tom, thanks for sharing. Brotherhood of turkey hunters on this forum is very strong. Most of you "Legacy guys" are the reason I joined after sandbagging a few years. Safe and Happy Successful season to all!

Thanks everyone for all the kind words. It was an honor in doing this for Tom. I wouldn't trade the experience and memories the wife and I made at the event for anything. It was priceless in the people i got to meet and NEW friends i made at the Mossy Oak Event. This was truly a bucket list highlight of my life. I only wish i could have gotten everyone on the forum a Fox Vest. I agree with everyone, this forum has created a lasting relationship over the years with so many of YOU. Thanks again everyone and good luck this Spring...   Thanks again Tom for the kind WORDS. If anyone ever needs my help I'm here for you my friends.. God Bless

Another fine example of why being a member of OG is worth the price of admission.

About as good as it gets right there!  I’ve chatted with both Greg and Tom007 online and they’re fine fellas.  They have to be to put up with my long-winded, overly-detailed messages.

This does my heart good. I am quite cynical and these brief glimpses of kindness and selflessness give me hope for the human race. Thanks Greg and Tom for being good humans. Z
