Star Valley resident Jason Reinhardt, an avid houndsman , came across the animal while mountain lion hunting the southern Gros Ventre Range in February 2022.

Most of us who engage in heavy alcohol use do so to self-medicate. And we self-medicate because we don’t know how to feel, process, and sit with our uncomfortable emotions. There are many ways to avoid uncomfortable feelings; heavy alcohol use is just one way (among many) to numb out, avoid, or escape. A lot of us who have abused alcohol, myself included, do so to regulate our emotions, or we think we are regulating our emotions through self-medication.
