There was a time when Gaspari “Gap” Pucci was noted for his Sicilian background. He was an oddity — an Italian from South Philly cowboying out West in Wyoming.
But he followed his dream. He built a highly respected big game hunting outfit in Jackson Hole and spent almost four decades doing what he loved from the back of a horse.
His office was the Gros Ventre Wilderness, an unspoiled section of Bridger-Teton backcountry where few tread even today. It’s a roadless and wild 250-square-mile chunk of forest as rugged and remote as it gets anywhere in the continental U.S.
Nowadays what makes this 88-year-old special is the fact that he still lives like he does — straight-up cowboy. No phone, no internet, no modern amenities. Not even a fancy hay fork with the composite handle.
It is interesting to see him at 88 doing all those things. I know of multiple older men/women in their 80s around here and you certainly wouldn't know it by interacting with them. They usually just tool around on their homesteads keeping busy - I am not a believer that work like that keeps you young, I best get off the computer here and go do something.

the guy is clearly a tough old dude. he's far more spry than some 60 year olds i've seen.
when he was a little kid in italy he probably never even dreamed he'd be where he is now.
