My problem is with the people that scooped up vest and calls and already have them on Ebay at outrageous prices...and idiots will pay it. Look at ebay...people have the post made and the items are in their truck seats. They posted them for sale as soon as they got to the truck. Probably had to borrow the money to buy the calls and vest in the first place.Sooo they hurt you in what way? Got there before you?I'm just jealous I wasn't smart enough to make a 100% plus profit off a vest. Congrats to themSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Next to us was a high school freshman who had saved his money for one of the vests, an awesome young man, and we all took great care of him with food and blankets to stay warm etc... He was so proud of his new turkey hunting vest and in my opinion the look on his face was priceless as he received his vest... A Young turkey hunter, who listen to us tell stories and shared knowledge about turkey hunting.Greg, I don't know where you were sitting but I went to get coffee this morning around 4 30 at the thrift shop. I saw a kid about 12 year old absolutely shivering! I felt so bad for that kid! Very underdressed. I had already given my buddy heater to a young man that was a student at Mississippi state because he was under dressed. I saw grown men sleeping in vehicles to stay warm but not that kid.This young man had a small propane heater with him... I will agree with you, i saw several people way under dressed for the cold night ...

Quote from: Yoder409 on March 11, 2023, 10:46:02 PMIf someone buys a vest............or a call...........or whatever........at the asking price and decides to flip it for whatever somebody (fool) is willing to pay for it.........that's America. I'm a capitalist. You GO, boy !!!!!I just don't see the draw. I, personally, have less than zero interest in ANY of the Mr. Fox madness.

Last time I stood in line over 10 minutes was for tickets to ET back in 1982. That was worth it, not sure about for a turkey vest. Sent from my motorola edge 5G UW (2021) using Tapatalk
Quote from: Greg Massey on March 12, 2023, 12:36:17 AMHistory has a way of paving a road, just like what the Fox Vest stands for in symbolizing what is the true meaning of giving back for generations to come. All of this started back in 1944 with Mr Fox killing his first turkey with model 12. So with all the great history that the vest stands for and conservation. The prototype vest was referred to as the traveling vest, as it was used in Mississippi and ended in May in New England. During it's travels the vest was used by family and close friends. The vest ended its journey with Mr Fox 3 grandsons killing turkeys in New England using Mr Fox Winchester model 12. So this vest will now become a part of making your own hunting stories if you are fortunate to receive one of these to carry on a great legacy for years to come. From Mr Fox : The Good That Men Do Will Live Long After Theyre Gone. So again everyone has opinions, but history and memories will live forever. I Feel Mr Fox's legacy and history is worth preserving alone with what was done years ago with the Dixon Vest. So regardless history will stand the test of time. So if you have one of the Vest you have the opportunity to share in all of its history and create your own history and memories.
