      A bear kept at a Central Russian hunting lodge for training hunting dogs 
      has attacked and killed the chairman of the Tambov Regional Hunting and 
      Fishing Society, society representatives told Interfax.

      Lodge employees found Vladimir Mamontov's body in the lodge, where he was 
      able to crawl despite his wounds. The bear had injured him on the head, 
      broken his arm, and repeatedly clawed him. Two bears are kept at the lodge 
      for dog training; one of these bears apparently attacked Mamontov when he 
      approached to feed it.

      The society had recently celebrated its 115th anniversary and awarded 
      Mamontov the title of Russia's Distinguished Huntsman.
