In 1972, Jim Walton sold the farm (“137+” acres per the sales listing) to two waterfowl hunters, Roy D. Morris and Dr. Robert T. Boals, along with their wives, Eloise A.  Morris and Erna D. Boals for $90,000.  The parcel apparently was larger since the Warranty Deed notes that “Seventy 70 acres of land heretofore deeded by Addie M. Hunt and James E. Hunt to D. M Burnett and further about Twenty (20) acres of land deeded from the Eugene Loan and Savings Bank to Henry W. Meyers, Ed B. Wood and Chalmers H. Brown, and further about Twenty (20) acres of land heretofore deeded by the Eugene Loan and Savings to Joseph R. Hall.”

These avid hunters purchased the farm and operated a duck hunting club which consistently had ten members.  The land was also used for hay and beef pasture.
