The other man escaped and rushed to the nearest village of Tonta where he sounded the alarm. Police and hunters went into the forest and found the dead 59 year old.

@Valentyna and del - your comments are the only 'disgusting' thing about this article. These were just ordinary poor Russians going about their business. Hunting has been a feature culturally, and from necessity out there for millennia and you certainly have no right to pronounce your self-righteous f...d up judgement on these rather unfortunate people. One hopes that one day you two may find yourselves wandering in a forest staring at the business ends of some dangerous creature's fangs/claws. Now that would be funny!

No sympathy whatsoever for these hunters or any hunters. What does one expect when humans invade/encroach the wilderness - just so that they satisfy their bloodlust and hang their trophies.

Disgusting.

No sympathy for hunters dying like this. It's not like they were hungry and needed to eat.
