The ranch sits on 1100 acres in Duval County between George West and Freer in South Texas. The entrance is approximately 3.7 miles south of FM624 on FM 59. (View Map). There are over 15 protein and corn feeders on the ranch and eleven tower stands with 360° views.
Many breeds of wildlife can be seen on the ranch including whitetail deer, hogs, turkeys, coyotes, bobcats, armadillos, and a large variety of birds. In 2008, the Beans introduced several different species of exotics such as Scimitar-Horned Oryx, Blackbuck Antelope, Axis Deer, Fallow Deer & Red Deer.
Fishing and trapping are also abundant on the ranch. The fully stocked pond is just under 1/2 acre and the outside fence has snares strategically placed to trap nuisance species such as racoons and coyotes

Oryx Both male & female Oryx have long thin parallel horns that curve backward and grow to be several feet long. The Oryx are mostly white with reddish brown necks and marks on the face and a long,dark tufted tail. Body length ranges from 5.0′ to 7.5′ and their shoulder height is generally 3.6′ to 4.6′ weighing around 400 pounds. They normally live in herds and are led by a single male.
Axis Deer Axis deer are moderately large spotted deer with three tines on each antler. Their coats are brown dappled with white spots and their rumps, throats, abdomens, inside of legs, ears and underside of the tails are white with a dark stripe from nape to near the tip of the tail. Axis males can weigh up to 250 pounds and females can weigh up to 150 pounds. Axis were native to India and introduced to Texas around 1932. An old experienced doe is usually the leader in a herd. Rutting males emit bugle-like bellows and both sexes have alarm calls or barks.
Blackbuck Antelope The distinct horns of the Blackbuck are ringed with 1 to 4 spiral turns, rarely more than 4 turns, and can be as long as 28″. In the male, the upper body is black or dark brown and the belly and eye rings are white. The female is light brown and usually hornless. The Blackbuck is one of the fastest animals and can outrun most predators over long distances.
Fallow Bucks can reach 130 – 190 lbs and a doe can reach 65 – 110 lbs. The species vary in color but the common fallow deer has a brown coat with white mottles that are most pronounced in summer with a much darker coat in the winter. Only bucks have antlers and these are broad usually with pulmation. During the rut, bucks will spread out and females move between them. This is a time when they are relatively ungrouped compared to the rest of the year when they try to stay together.
Red Stag Deer Male red deer are much larger than the females and grow a short neck mane during the fall. They are much larger than whitetail deer and tend to be between 7′ – 8′ in length from nose to tail. Only the stags have antlers which grow in the spring and are shed each year usually at the end of winter. The antlers can grow at a rate of 1″ a day and are rather straight and ridged with the 4th and 5th tines forming a “crown” or “cup” in larger males.
