Mossy Oak done a nice write up of Bob Dixon and the vest they made to honor him. I will try to post a link. Happy Birthday, Bob!

Wow, cool tribute. Thanks for sharing. Those vests are real nice. Had one years ago, regretfully sold it. Now you need a small mortgage to buy one. Wish they would come out with them again. They would sell like hot cakes. Love that picture of the bird his son harvested with his dads vest. The Old School battle worn 870. Nice memories for the family. Be safe....
I have always wondered where some of the top numbered vest went. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome story and tribute to a legend in his own right ... Bob Dixon now in turkey heaven... God Bless the family ...
I have vest 64 with all the calls and knives that went with it, still in plastic.

I believe this is a limbhanger, not a Dixon. Very similar but not the same.

So I don't feel bad now that it in such bad shape . Lots of mikes on it . Thank you for the clarification.

I sold my Dixon years ago, I regretted it. I did find a Mint condition Limbhanger vest, I is almost identical. You will come across one if you keep looking. It is a fine vest..
I remember looking at a rack of Dixon vests and thinking, "$150 for a vest?!"
I'm glad I did. The vest and I have shared a lot of dirt through the years, and even managed to get a turkey or two in the process.
I really enjoyed that article. I dont recall hearing about the vest when it came out. Mossy Oak sure did it right for one of their own. I sure hope the boy finds the vest # hes looking for.
Yes it was a great article, i would like to see some pics of the Cody calls that came with the first 100. i thought i remember there being some more calls than that in the vest, i thought there was a Mad push pull also.
Truly a great man and a wonderful story. His son is a fine fellow also.

Thanks for sharing!
I had a chance on one years ago and remember thinking I just can't pull the trigger on $600 vest at the time.
I do have the Limbhanger and love it.
