Ask them who designed that new vest if you're there I'd be curious to know who they say designed it.

Been a mossy oak guy for 30 years. Ashamed to say they've embraced the commercialization of the wild turkey on a grand scale. Toxey says one thing but the company does another by paying influencers. And ultimately the destruction of the turkey hunting tradition.  Money rules the day as it always has

I went, bought a call from William Lester and a couple of other things. I thought $250 was high for a strap vest. I didn't take any pics but there were a lot of people there.

The bride and I stopped by after selling my furs at Duke's...didn't really see anything I couldn't live without. I did buy a pair of Full Foliage pants to match my 3 pocket coat that I've had since the 90's...folks were buying a ton of that stuff.

I also dropped some stuff off to Camo Retro that I needed to get rid of.

There were a lot of friction calls on display..but I've got so many I didn't see the need for another one.

I took a look at the vest...not sure it would be for me as I think I'd have an issue with the straps staying on the shoulders.

Not sure what the crowd was like later on but we got there around 9 and it wasn't bad at all.

I got there late morning. It wasn't too crowded and was a very enjoyable atmosphere. I picked up a wingbone and jordan from Kevin Rouse and a trumpet from Andy Terrell, all three are some fine calls. Really enjoyed talking to Andy and some other fellow hunters.

Andy's a good guy and turns a really nice trumpet 👍

I picked up some mouth calls and a pot from Legacy.  Enjoyed visiting with callmakers and fellow hunters.  Saw the vest but did not take pictures.  I was really underwhelmed by it.
