What year were these made?
2007 - First 100 were auctioned, the rest of the 1986 made were sold retail.
Wish they'd do another run and donate some of the proceeds to whatever charity they wanted...I ran it past I believe it was Bob Dixon's son,but must be to much of a headache to do(my words not his)...I said I bet they'd sell like crazy. I'd buy the first 2. One for now and one for when that one wore out. That would probably put me at about 6 feet under...
the amount of money some folks pay for things id buy a 100 because in 10 more years they will be worth 1500.00 a piece they way some folks pay for things. lol who knows with inflation a cheap vest will probaly cost 500.00 in 10 years
I saw one listed for sale on Facebook this morning for $750. Never used.

Exactly, my old hs vest from 1995 is doing me fine 23 years later. Paid $50 for it Walmart I think.

They are a unique piece of turkey hunting history. Wish I would have bought one but did not. Would not pay what is asked now but it was a good thing to do at the time. Wish they would continue his legacy by offering other ways to create funds for research.

My satchel is important part of history ..i have number 5 ...Glenda number's all her Satchels ...
Far as that goes, I wish they'd made the Limbhanger longer. I should have bought more than the one I've got. I love the fit & function of that vest.
I still have a Spartan (pre-Realtree) vest that has button closures on the pockets and has one of the thinnest, next to nothing butt pads ever attached to a vest. I can't remember what year I bought it, maybe 1990 or 1991? It definitely saw a bunch of gobblers bite the dust before I upgraded to a different make around 1999.

I just wish they would build a vest like the Dixon Vest with the Quaker claw slings for straps like the Dixon, if they had one i would own another vest for sure...
If you want a Fixon vest, just buy the new Nomad MG vest! It's almost the exact same!
I was thinking the Dixion vest might actually go down in demand and price with the new Nomad vest being very close and a lot cheaper and easier to find I guess it will depend on the quality of the Nomad. I had a Dixion and it was made to last just way to heavy for me and the miles I walk.
I to wish i would have picked up a dixon at the time. I've got a limbhanger that i love and couldn't part with. Hopefully the nomad will turn out to be a good alternative. Gonna pick one up as a back up.

After the Facebook Dixon sold for $750 somebody came right in with another one for $650 and it was missing the box call holder.
Interesting.

The main reason I quit hunting with my Dixon vest was the Claw straps. They grab and bind you're movement when sitting down. I've been using the Limbhanger for years now.
