Private Park Welcomes Betsy the Moose and Two Deer
Betsy the moose, rescued from drowning in the Wise River, joins two young deer at Frank Hazelbaker’s private game preserve in southwestern Montana. Supt. A G Stubblefield says feeding the animal trio at the Washoe park hatchery was costly, so they move to the 80 to 100 acre preserve where elk, buffalo and deer already roam. The state retains ownership of the animals.
