Rusty moved to Invermere in 2011 from Kalspell, Montana and seems to like his new home as he has remained in the town since arriving. Made of parts from various vehicles and "old parts from the oil fields", Rusty can be seen beside The Artym Gallery.
The owners of the Artym Gallery first laid eyes on Rusty at the gallery of artist Jeff Fleming in Kalispell. Rusty the Moose was eventually purchased from Jeff and had him relocated to their gallery in Invermere.
It turns out that the purchase and relocation of Rusty was a good bit of advertising for the gallery, as he has become quite a popular tourist attraction and a backdrop for photo ops.
