Auctions of the #4-9 Mr. Fox Vest and Mr. Fox custom turkey call collection have raised $112,960.45 for wild turkey conservation.
The good men do will live long after they're gone.
And that continues to be true of Fox Haas's legacy.
In 2023, the limited edition Mr. Fox Vest was released to overnight lines at NWTF and in West Point and an online sale that sold out in less than 5 minutes.
A big part of the creation of the Mr. Fox Vest was the plan to use it as an opportunity to raise money for wild turkey conservation. At that 2023 NWTF, the #4 Mr. Fox Vest + the 10 accompanying custom turkey calls was auctioned off to a winning bid of $31,000, making it the most valuable turkey vest ever sold.
The team had plans to auction off Mr. Fox Vests #5-9 + their accompanying calls later that same spring, but the season got away from them and, instead, they planned to auction them off for Mossy Oak's 40th anniversary a few years later.
The auctions of the #5-9 Mr. Fox Vests and custom calls ended Sunday, February 15. The #5 Mr. Fox Vest sold for $17,910.45 with 41 bids, the #6 Mr. Fox Vest sold for $15,000 with 39 bids, the #7 Mr. Fox Vest sold for $15,850 with 93 bids, the #8 Mr. Fox Vest sold for $18,000 with 39 bids, and the #9 Mr. Fox Vest sold for $15,200 with 69 bids.
The whirlwind and incredible response to the release and auctions of the Mr. Fox Vest has been inspiring to witness. Excitement over a product that represents the love for the wild turkey, the love for family, and the love of the woods is something that's hard to replicate. Each and every dollar raised by the Mr. Fox Vests and calls is going towards wild turkey conservation research and habitat improvement.
