Taking you on a tour of Lone Oak Farm, where I live & play with my lovely and understanding non-hunting wife.

Our home... barn & stables to the east.








Entering the foyer... looking left.





... looking right into the wife's Parlor, no taxidermy in there.





Walking underneath the catwalk entering the den...





Looking right in the den...





Looking left in the den...



Looking back to the right...



Bow kill Nyala & Gemsbuck...






My favorite chair with some totem poles that I carved. On the wall are three watercolor paintings of flowers, these were painted by my Mother and the picture frames were made by my Grandfather. The window pass-thru goes into the kitchen.





Looking out back on the deck. You can see my fish pond (bass & bluegill) at the back of the property.







My first Pope & Young whitetail (139 4/8"), killed on this farm.





My best whitetail, another bow kill (170 4/8 Pope & Young)... also killed on this farm.



Utah mule deer...



Colorado bull elk, bow kill...





Looking back toward the catwalk & front door...



Upstairs on the catwalk...



Zebra rug by Jerry Huffacker...





Wyoming pronghorn antelope...







Lots of American Indian artifacts around this area.



... used some points to adorn the tile in a half bath off of the foyer, underneath the catwalk.



Dancing horse sticks that I carved & crafted.







Off of the den is my study... lots of Alabama and Tennessee whitetail racks and turkey beards & spurs, along with a bunch of turkey calls and awards I have won making decorative turkey calls.







Pope & Young eight point (129 1/8")... another one killed on this farm!







... and last is the GhostBird Cantina sign that I carved & painted. It hangs on the back wall of my study, which is the backside of the stone fireplace.



Thanks for looking... I hope you enjoyed the tour.

Nice, whish more people would do heavy pic reports like this. You have lovely home

Very nice Ghostbird………… tasteful and pleasing to the eye. I see some 'trophy rooms' that are over the top and feel more like a museum than someones home…….. yours is a place one would feel comfortable in.

That has a nice flow to it. That also is a great farm with the pond, those arrowheads, and those BIG deer.

Very nice place.

Like everything - exterior and interior.

Mike

Those Tom Turkey beards are cool. Most of mine were destroyed by a dog or lost. Very classy with all the rest.

one word...beautiful

What a beautiful spot!

Lovely place. Question on the Sports Afield magazine (or cover) in frame? What year is it and does it hold a special memory?

I remember looking though a lot of old hunting magazines and catalogs my father had. Most of them were published before I was born. We're just about to move into our first home and love your idea.

looks great GB. I greatly miss living in north alabama, spent 8 years in huntsville going to college.

Very nice spread, but no surprise as Andy excels in all that he does.

He is one of the foremost exhibition grade turkey call makers in the world.

He is one of the top turkey hunters in the state, in several states, in fact.

He is an accomplished pen and pencil artist.

He is a helluva good woodworker.

He's a cunning archery hunter.

He's smart.

He has a nice house and farm.

He probably has a good looking wife and family too.

He's an Auburn Tiger.

I hate Andy.

Love the grapes growing on the fence in front of your beautiful home.

Nicely done! You need some more animals in there though.

Beautiful place!!

Sure seems like a cozy place to be in when the weather is cold, nicely done thanks for sharing!

That was Great Will. It all shows too!

Thanks for the ringing endorsement Will!

... you are right about the wife!



WAR EAGLE !!!

Now that is a house full...well done... my son says that weird ''WAR EAGLE'' bit also...

one more thing,the wife might be a non hunter,but I bet that she told you where to put and place everything.. .

Ghostbird

Can you please post some more pictures of the exterior. The house is beautiful.

Mike

Ghostbird,

Congrats, looks like a little slice of heaven there.

Fabulous place. You are a lucky man!

Highlander7, the Sports Afield magazine is from 1958, the year I was born, and it has a hunter & a wild turkey on the cover. I just thought it was cool. The entire magazine is in the frame. It is really neat that there was a lot of great artwork on magazine covers back then.

Here are couple more photos of the exterior.





... back of the house.

Ghostbird,

Really like the exterior - wrap around poach, raised deck in the back, separate covered garage.

Very nice.

Mike

Holy balls Dude

Can I just come for a vacation?

Really beautiful in all aspects I love the use of the arrow heads in the bathroom and the carved totem poles. We go looking for arrowheads around our neck of the woods. don't have the finds you have though.

You have a beautiful home and some great looking mounts... Congratulations..

I really enjoyed seeing your pictures. So exciting to get ideas from what others have done. Congratulations

Eddie
