Anyone got a sneak peak at the new vest they are soon releasing? I thought I was going to get by without buying a new one this year, but maybe not.
Mr.Fox vest, 1900 and some change being made, like the Dixon vest. I hear 400 to 450$ a pop. Look at Cuz 411 YouTube hunt with Harold knight. He's wearing one. Leather sling straps

It's going to be released or unveiled with a special presentation at the NWTF Convention ...

Ouch, probably won't be buying one. Does look like a bad a$$ vest though.

I was told that only the first 10 L.E. Vest will have the leather straps from Moonshine leatherworks and the rest will be something else. Those first 10 will be untouchable with the custom calls that are n them from some of the biggest names out there.
Your right about price and all the calls but my question is are they 100% USA made or like the rest of there stuff as well as the rest of the camo companies China ????????

I really hope you'll be able to buy one other than being at the convention.
I look forward to getting one it will look great with my 2 bob dixon vests in the hunting cabin
If they are only making 1900 of them, they are probably meant to go to the turkey hunting
elite, not us poor smucks that don't have you-tube channels lol. Sounds like a nice vest though.
I totally get the limited edition aspect but it's a shame everyone who wants one won't be able to get one. I'd love to have one as the layout looks great. Hopefully they make one similar that isn't a special edition.
https://store.mossyoak.com/products/fox-turkey-vest
Just released information
I guess I'm the only one that has zero interest in it, whatsoever.
:-\
Anyone know what the sizes will run?
I like the looks of the vest. I like the Leatherwork, and it seems to be well made. It also looks like it won't be noisy nylon, anways. The cost seems steep to me and I have zero interest in the collectible side of it. Glad that Mr Fox has lived a long and full life, but that doesn't sway me in either direction on it. I would be more inclined to buy this than a $600.00 secondhand platz call though. That's just me.
I really like the layout but would never spend that much on a vest.
So if your not at the convention you won't stand a chance at getting one..if there are any left after that they will be bought up at the store...I bet none get put online..they will all be gone,I hope not cause I am ready and will be waiting
Dumb...but that's fine I know a guy that does leather and bottomland that's what I like about the vest was the leather straps.
I'm reality it ain't nothing but a worked over nomad vest

Not going to lie, I would love to have one of the first 10 that include special calls and ammo.
Here is the callmaker list for limited calls:
Nine of the country's top custom call makers made batches of limited numbered (1-10) calls signed in honor of Mr. Fox. We'll have photos, videos and stories from the shop of each call maker coming later this spring.
Custom Call Makers:
• Mark Prudhomme - Trumpet
• Billy Buice - Trumpet
• Steve Mann - Paddle Box
• Lamar Williams - Two Check Box
• Marlin Watkins - Fiddle Paddle box
• TJ Johnson - Glass pot with a feather from Mr. Fox's turkey he killed last season
• Bill Zearing - Glass pot with a feather from Mr. Fox's turkey he killed last season
• Dean Redbeard Mundhenke - Copper pot calls
• Pat Strawser - Slate Calls
Doesn't look to be a limited run other than 1944 of them numbered. It states on the website that there will be unnumbered vests.
Wasn't the Dixon vest with the specail calls sold on Ebay when it was released or am I remembering something different
I`m with Happy. Best to the man and his family. If I had the chance to buy one I probably wouldn`t. Most likely a collectors item. I would like to know where the the vest made?
Love the story and history of the vest, but truthfully not a fan of the layout.

You mean to tell me you're not interested in "The best turkey vest EVER engineered!!!" What's wrong with you man??? "EVERYTHING has been thought of!" And "it will last a lifetime or TWO!!"....Well it better, because it's gonna take you that long to pay it off! Still not interested? They are giving some of the lucky NWTF attendees the extreme honor of buying them too! AND, if you have a spare 100k or so, you can get the vest fully furnished and installed with custom calls too! You even get an option to, now get this, BUY turkeys shells!!! That option comes 100%free with the vest. So get with it bud, open your eyes already!!! :blob10:
I emailed Mossy Oak a few days ago to find out where it was made and still no response hum :blob10:

Love the vest. Just hard to justify the price to my wife, especially with a little on the way in August. I'll keep hunting with my Limbhanger!

$450 is a steep price for a vest. Got to admire the marketing from Mossy Oak creating interest in this. I don't like the layout anyway.
It appears the back of the vest is 2 large pockets, so I don't see that the vest can be used to haul out a gobbler.
Bucklick Creek(Bass Pro) has served my needs well for years and I like the fact that I have back support without the need for a tree which can come in handy on some hunts.

Great looking vest to honor a great man... but I don't think I'll be jumping on this vest at $450. You can buy a lot of turkey tags for that $$... Best thing I've seen with the release of this vest is some sign of life from Cody!
Amen about Cody!!

I like the addition of what looks like cushioning for the back on this if I am understanding the picture right. I would like to see the same for the bottom, maybe that would allow me to get out of the blind, I miss ground hunting. I would like to see a seat with a small slit near the back to take pressure from the tailbone as that is one of my most sensitive areas.
I'm not a cool kid and don't use a strap to carry them out. That's what a pouch on back is for, which this vest lacks.
Find it a bit odd we never really heard anything about Mr. Fox until a few years back when they started tracking his kill streak.
I remember watching the 1st Mossy Oak VHS videos and I remember that Mr Fox was always present. I have always gotten the impression that they are a very close knit bunch.
Have a good one, Bo

Pretty sure its there but you have to unzip a panel to expand it. The female clips at the top of the back of the vest should be for load stabilizing straps that are in the pouch when you unzip it.

Grew up watching mossy oak videos with my dad and mr fox was always present
Man , I could get a Sitka vest cheaper than that. If you missed it , it was meant sarcastically.
The Fox vest is to commemorate an iconic man who is deeply loved by his family, who's values have positively impacted the local community, defined the company of Mossy Oak and shaped its brand. It will be one of the tangible representations of a legacy that will undoubtedly live on through family, friends, and Mossy Oak.
You can debate the layout of the vest and it's appeal to your personal preferences but you cannot debate the efforts that Mossy Oak makes to educate, inform and enhance the outdoor community. That's a direct reflection of Mr. Fox and this vest, just like the Dixon Vest, is a worthy tribute from the folks at Mossy Oak to one of their own.
We should all aspire have such an honor bestowed upon us. I'll keep my fingers crossed that I'm able to put my hands on one. There is far more demand than there is supply.

Kyle was right. Good point. But remember Kyle, people don't care that they're honoring their grandfather while he's still alive for all the conservation efforts. They'd rather complain about the price of something they weren't gonna buy anyway. Much easier to just complain about something that has nothing to do with you. They'd rather not realize someone's conservation efforts or the fact that one dude has done more for turkeys than anyone on this forum has ever thought about doing. No no they'd rather complain and tell you there old school, cut from a different cloth, and b**** about social media (all while typed on an online forum)
I hope I get one of those vests tho looks sweet to me.
Also surprised nobody's done the quick math and said how many turkey purses you can buy for that price??
Seeing as how that's what every thread about vests turns into.

I agree . I don't know mr fox , but I've hunted with ole cuz , and been around toxey a few times . They are just regular dudes that have done good for them selves and there family's . From what I understand mr fox has plaid a huge roll in re stocking and turkey conservation etc .
I'm also sure that mr fox had a lot to do with the financial start up of " mossy oak " . I guess maybe it's just a southern thing , although I wear all kinds of camo , Nat gear / kuiu , mossy oak is part of my up bringing in the turkey woods if that makes sense?
Is this vest over priced ? I reckon tss / new shotguns / hunting gear in general ain't ??
I'm sending some cash with a buddy to the convention and hope to get a # vest .
If you run across me in the timber while wearing my over priced " cool " vest ? I'll still shake your hand even if your wearing a camo man purse !! Lol ... to each there own !

Great guy, who has done much to be respected for, but I am still not going to buy this overpriced turkey vest. I've honored the man and his family's company enough over the years with all the camo, including vests, I have bought off them. All my stuff is late 80's, early 90's and still very huntable. Best of all, it is USA made ;) No amount of money could buy the 2 original "strap" vests I still hunt to this day. There is nothing better made and lighter in my opinion. To each their own though. I don't begrudge them for marketing this vest. It's worth whatever someone is stupid enough to pay for it.
Like this? I love the thing, I'm looking for a couple more but no luck so far. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230213/6e1cecf9065235329d1a6d8f91679e73.jpg)

Mine are same but have the camo straps. Believe they may have been before that one. Perfect vest in my opinion. I don't carry much, and what I do tote fits perfectly into it.
Same, I'm trying to find the next size up in case I need to layer under it and no dice yet. They seem pretty difficult to come by.

Good post Kyle.
Some make me think on Facebook more than OG, but I'm glad those folks don't want a vest quite frankly.
To clear one thing up that I keep seeing on this thread...All of the vests will have the same leather straps from what I understand. There will be no differences in the first 10 and the rest other than certain calls that will be auctioned directly with those vests. I'd encourage anyone who Is interested to read all the info on Mossy Oak's website as well as listen to the Gamekeeper Podcast episode that both spell out and explain all of the Correct info/details and their goals with this vest.
I personally find the history of The Dixon vest and this Fox vest to be an awesome part of turkey hunting and turkey hunting heritage. I'll be happy to own one and plan to hunt mine for a long time.

I saw where a fellow that should know said there would be around 3300 total (numbered and un). And I'm betting they'll be the same price but I haven't seen that for sure.

The Mossy Oak boys at the convention said around 3500 vests total, all vest will be $450. The ones without numbers will not have the optional purchase of matching #'d custom Mr. Fox Apex ammo to go with them. They aren't forcing the purchase of the ammo, but it's assumed as apart of the original run of #'d vests making the price $525 out the gate for those rather than the baseline $450. There also a few calls, a CODY Green Machine only 400 of those for convention vests for extra $75, Rolling Thunder pot is $100, Primos box call is $100, Quaker Boy is $50. After tax for the vest, and all the publicly released calls you're looking at around $1000.

Wow.
I completely understand the reasoning for the vest and the price for the numbered ones. But I'm a bit disappointed in the price for the non-numbered ones and seeing all those other dollar figures thrown around. You'd think they'd try to make some affordable for the average turkey hunter, especially considering the average hunter is where the majority of their camo revenue comes from. Oh well, $$ talks.
You know, I've thought long a hard about this vest and what it means, its implications, what it says about the state of things, turkey hunting now and the market in general. I've come to the conclusion...who cares, it's fine, if the young guys want to pay for it so what? It's kind of a cool thing and although the marketing by Mossy Oak is completely over the top and somwhat nauseating to me, let the guys who want it have some fun with their money. USE them though, don't make them show pieces, then I'll really throw up.
Have at it boys! Enjoy,have fun.

If there is, I may actually consider an unnumbered one as a viable option then. I listened to their podcast and they just mentioned how bloody the seat was on their prototype last spring from everyone carrying them out over the shoulder. They talked about carrying them out by the feet vs head. I just assumed it didn't have a place for one after that conversation and looking at the pics on website.
Another thing that isn't clear, are the unnumbered ones going to be $450 too? I surely hope not, as that is definitely out of the price range of your average turkey hunter. Also makes you wonder just how many unnumbered ones they are going to produce. The numbered ones, go ahead with the price. No problem selling out even if you made them $1,000.
The Mossy Oak boys at the convention said around 3500 vests total, all vest will be $450. The ones without numbers will not have the optional purchase of matching #'d custom Mr. Fox Apex ammo to go with them. They aren't forcing the purchase of the ammo, but it's assumed as apart of the original run of #'d vests making the price $525 out the gate for those rather than the baseline $450. There also a few calls, a CODY Green Machine only 400 of those for convention vests for extra $75, Rolling Thunder pot is $100, Primos box call is $100, Quaker Boy is $50. After tax for the vest, and all the publicly released calls you're looking at around $1000.
Wow.
I completely understand the reasoning for the vest and the price for the numbered ones. But I'm a bit disappointed in the price for the non-numbered ones and seeing all those other dollar figures thrown around. You'd think they'd try to make some affordable for the average turkey hunter, especially considering the average hunter is where the majority of their camo revenue comes from. Oh well, $$ talks.
was at convention yesterday. Don't be disappointed... they have other vests that aren't that expensive for those folks who want a cheaper option... then again that's a solution to a lot of gripes and people on here don't like that.
I didn't realize these vests were such a big deal. I should have paid more attention when my buddy told me he was picked by the family as one of the hunters to where the vest that was being passed around. He drove out of state to pick it up and ended up killing a bird in it.
I tried to get one today but no luck. Saw guys getting two at a time, also saw some for sale at other vendors booths but didn't ask a price but one had a sign for 2000 dollars

I like the addition of what looks like cushioning for the back on this if I am understanding the picture right. I would like to see the same for the bottom, maybe that would allow me to get out of the blind, I miss ground hunting. I would like to see a seat with a small slit near the back to take pressure from the tailbone as that is one of my most sensitive areas.
I respect that being an issue and hate that you have to deal with stuff ongoing from a past severe injury. That said, listening to your need - the Glenda Green innertube seat would have to be ideal for you based on what you wished for as far as a seat with a void to keep pressure off the coccyx bone. On her tube, if one runs it about fifty percent inflated it is really comfortable and there will be nothing contacting that bone which is causing major discomfort. If you want to run a vest, you could just detach the seat (most vests will allow this, but not all) and then put her tube seat in the back stash area on the back of your current vest.
Did I miss it?
WHERE is the vest made?
What country is it made in?

Jesus Christ man chill out lol
The seats made in Myanmar
The rest of the vest is USA from what I can tell.
I was there and there way of allocation was a total sham. Almost everyone who got one was a vendor or a friend of an exhibitor or vendor. The email with directions on how to get a ticket went to my promotions inbox on Wednesday before the show and I never saw it. Had no idea you needed to have been there at 4 AM to get a ticket on Thursday. No one there at the show mentioned it either. There was a bunch of us disappointed.
Already seen one being sold online for $2500.00, hmmm sorry but I don't agree with the greed... Buy a limited edition like this just to turn a profit.

Haha charging $450 for a vest and it's wrong for the purchaser to make a buck?
I fully intend to try to snag one online and do the same. That is if any numbered ones make it online.
The whole vest is made in Myanmar except for the leather! Refer to post under Mr Fox vest at NWTF convention
