Butch was my Dad and Russell is my Brother.  I used to hunt all the country out there when I was a youngster.  None of the gates were locked and you went where the dogs went and no one cared.  Now most of the land is chopped up into 10-50 acre tracts and there is a house or trailer house on every one of them.  It is a little depressing to me to see what urban sprawl can do to the rural areas.  Won't be long before San Antonio reaches down to Pearsall, at least the strip along the interstate. 
As a boy you could hear hounds running in one direction or another, especially on the weekends.  Lots of guys that had dogs would come down from San Antonio and hunt in the Devine area.  Now the only dogs you hear are house dogs barking in every direction.
Adios,
Gary
