The subject also had a Remmington Woodsmaster 30-06 Automatic slung over his shoulder and a white and brown springer spaniel with him. [REDACTED] asked him what he was hunting for and the subject replied in a weak nervous voice that he was after deer and grouse. [REDACTED] then proceeded through the mountains to the position where he normally hunts deer. From there [REDACTED] saw the subject with his dog about 20 minutes behind he and his companion.
