Title: Bob Dixon limited edition turkey vest
Post by: Pressured Gobbler on January 22, 2014, 06:22:54 AM
I can't help it.  But I get tired of people complaining and bashing the Bob Dixon vest because it sells on ebay for $500 or more.

You never hear anybody complaining about a lynch box call selling for $500 on ebay. "It's just a box call"

No it's a collectors piece.

Mossy oak did that vest as a tribute to a great dude that meant a lot to them. The man got robbed and the world would be a better place if he was still down hear!!!

Sorry for the rant but I visit a lot of forums and it's all I hear

Agreed, it gets tiring sorting through the dozens of posts that are made about this every day. Really guys, let it go.

I took mine to the NWTF Convention a couple of years ago and got Will Primos, "Cuz" Strickland, Harold Knight and David Hale to sign the inside of it. While I was at the Convention, I had a guy offer me $500.00 for it. I'm giving it to my Son and he can pass it down to my grandson.
Later, David

Don't worry man, for the way you hunt those birds Mossy Oak will be making a vest in your honor one day.  Can't wait to hear about your planned adventures this year.

There will always be Haters!!!  Some people live there life that way with a bad attitude and are miserable! Its sad! 
But a bad attitude is like a flat tire.....the only way to fix it is to change it!   

God Bless

Title: I Missed Out...
Post by: SCGobbler on January 23, 2014, 12:51:59 AM
I got out of hunting for about 8 years.  I got married, had kids, changed jobs, etc... Bob passed away during this time and I never knew about the vest until it was too late.  The only people I see bitching about the price are those that didn't buy one.

I sold mine last season for $550 and haven't looked back. I, personally, didn't like the vest.

I remember when I bought mine from the local sporting goods shop. My buddy thought I was crazy for spending $150. After the season was over of course they clearance them out for $50 thats when he picked his up. Wished I would have gotten some extra ones at that price.

I bought mine when they came out years back and I'm sure happy I did. I carry mine on almost all my hunts.

they're worth what you want to pay for them...i always wanted a Limbhanger vest to try...

For hunting, I actually like the Limbhanger better. Those shoulder straps on the Bob Dixon really grip my shirt or jacket and tend to limit smooth motion at the worst times.
