Stands to reason. Most all of that area had been mission ranchero land for over 150 years. My dad was raised on land that had one belonged to the San Jose mission. Approx. 10 miles west of Poteet in Atascosa county. Hard to imagine but much of that land had been overgrazed for years.

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison?
And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
