SABERS, Justice
(concurring specially).
As additional factual support for this opinion, I point out that:
When Milbank Insurance brought the declaratory judgment against Poland Ranch to determine the insurer’s duty to defend employee Robert Anderson, an affidavit was signed by Robert Anderson stating that one of his job requirements was to supervise outside hunters, that he had done so on numerous occasions, and that on November 23, 1983, he was within the scope of his employment in supervising this hunting party.
Even though Poland Ranch argues that these are “conclusory” facts, they are sufficient to raise a genuine issue of material fact for summary judgment purpose under the “dual purpose doctrine.”
I agree that we should not reach the question of recreational landowner immunity because the trial court never reached it.
