Are there any records of graybands being caught in these localities? I am spending a few weeks on a ranch in leakey along the frio river and was curious if it was worth my time to try and hunt? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

There could be! You need to hunt there to find one there!
There is a reference for the Devil's Sinkhole which I'm trying to track down at this moment, which is right on top of 335, which cuts back and forth across the Edwards / Real county line.
Even if you don't find alterna, there are lots of Bairds rats, and lepidus are found in the county, so it's worth spending the time to hunt. If you find alterna in Real, it will be a new county record. Take lots of pics of the habitat and get a GPS reading on the locality.

Joe's more of an optimist in these matters than I am LOL - Garner State Park is the most visited park in the state, and I would suggest that if alterna were there that some kid would've brought one to a park ranger LOL.
The possibility does exist that you could turn up one, though. There is a good looking set of cuts on US 83 between Leakey and Uvalde. I think there is one suboc record from there.
The cuts between Leakey and Camp Wood are known to harbor lepidus.
Joe already mentioned fm 335 north of me. Lots of Bairdi there, but no lepidus records.
I don't think the habitat looks anything but marginal here in Real, Uvalde, or extreme eastern Edwards counties.
One last thing. It hasn't rained here significantly in over a month . . . so conditions are also working against you if you're coming any time soon.

2" of rain at the top of 335 in the last 24 hours! Troy doesn't want you to find one there before he does
