The Fox Turkey Vest is being produced in a very limited run, numbered only to 1,944, which is the first year (1944) legendary conservationist Mr. Fox Haas shot his first wild turkey. The #5 vest produced is yours to win in honor of the NWTF's golden anniversary! Fox Haas is the father of Mossy Oak founder Toxey Haas. He’s known as “Mr. Fox” to just about everybody except for the select few that get to call him Papaw. He certainly supported Toxey in his vision of developing camouflage specific to hunting the bottomlands of Mississippi nearly 35 years ago. But that undervalues his contribution to not only his son’s success but the outdoors economy as a whole. It’s no accident that Mossy Oak’s original camo pattern, Bottomland, was developed to hide from turkeys. A wild turkey’s vision is quite hard to fool, but were it not for Mr. Fox’s efforts to conserve the dwindling, southern wild turkey populations in the 1970s, our turkey hunting traditions would be lost. He’s been honored by NWTF for his conservation efforts and has been inducted into the Legends of the Outdoors Hall of Fame. You see, hunting is not a seasonal pursuit; hunting is constant and begins with the dirt. Mossy Oak Game Keepers was established in 2008 as an aspiration to what Mr. Fox lived — conservation, land stewardship, wildlife management for the betterment of the land, and the camaraderie that comes with outdoor pursuits. The outdoor lifestyle is about more than pursuit of game. It is a full-orbed service of the creation for the prosperity of the creature both man and beast.
