In this Dec. 23, 2016, Gap Pucci holds a single-action Ruger .44 Magnum he used to fend off a bear attack in 1983 in the Gros Ventre Wilderness, in Wyo. The bear's pelt is one of several that hangs in Pucci's house, and the encounter with the bruin is chronicled in his new book of memoirs, which he hopes to publish this year. (Bradly J.
