Biermann Ranch

Biermann Ranch History

The Biermann Ranch was bought by Carl W. Biermann in 1910 and is approximately 300 acres. It was passed down to his son Carlton A. Biermann in 1990. The ranch has a family hunting history of over 100 years and several hundred large animals have been taken off of it. The ranch was used mainly for crops, cattle farming and family hunting for years and was just recently over the past 5 years turned into a management ranch for wildlife. The management program is run by the Ranch Manager Zachary C. Biermann, the grandson of Carlton A. Biermann. The program consists of year round protein feeding at multiple locations, farming of several acres of land specifically for deer food plots, dove and quail plots, turkey plots, mineral and attraction sites to maintain quality health, and the most important, quality selection of the animals harvested. Also to help manage the herds, we use several trail cameras to help us establish where and when our animals are coming to the fields or feeders and we utilize this tool to help us measure up certain bucks for harvesting. There are an unbelievable number of White Wing and Mourning Dove that have taken to the ranch all year round.

Management

Our Deer Plots consists of a combination of Wheat, Florida Oats, New Zealand Clovers, Brassicas, Austrian Peas, Turnips, Triticale, Chicory, and Sweet Sudan. We have found that this combination gives the deer a good high protein and high fiber diet with a variety of choices and different vitamins. Our Dove and Quail plots consist of Sunflower, Millet, and Sorghum fields. Our Turkey plots consist of mainly Chufa with a little bit of Clovers and Peas mixed in. All of these fields make our hunting ranch a wildlife paradise.

Since the management program started we have had several good Axis Gold Trophies taken off the ranch. The Axis Gold Trophies took off the ranch over the past several years range from 32 3/8 inch – 34 3/8 inch main beams. The #4 Axis Buck for Records of Exotics in 2012 was taken off of our ranch scoring 151 3/8. Our White Tail Bucks have not been hunted until this upcoming year as we have let them grow to a mature age for harvesting. We have had trail camera pictures of bucks with 9-11 inch G2’s and 20 inch spreads. Check out the Trail Camera Pictures for this year.

Quail

The Quail Hunting is done as a walk up or walk through hunt. It is conducted in the fields and on the edges of the fields. Each group of 3 hunters gets 3 Fields. The fields on the property are all very different making the quail hunt very diverse and fun! Some of our fields have tall 2-4 foot King Ranch Bluestem/Coastal Bermuda Grass while others have oats and native grasses with some shrubs and cactus's mixed in. The quail will be present in the fields and on the edges and we guarantee that you will see and get a shot at 15-20 Quail Per Person. There is no bag limit on our ranch as we are a Private Bird Hunting Area Registered with the TPWD therefore it is definitely possible to bag 20 Quail per hunt.

Dove

The Dove hunting is great with a 100% success rate on getting daily limits when hunting the morning and evening, and a 80% success rate on getting daily limits when hunting just the evening. These numbers represent bagged not presented. There is always 100% presentation or chance at getting your limit.
