Ena Lake Lodge
Black Bear Bust

Spring 2006 Greeted us with a well planed trip up to the northern reaches of Saskatchewan. A trip that had been planned for 8 months. Upon arrival by float plane the hunters from the previous hunt were on thier way out as we were arriving. After speaking to the group we learned that there were only 2 bear spotted during the 6 day hunt for 4 hunters. Our group consisted of 2 hunters from Louisiana and 2 hunters from Illinois. Don Brown the owner of Ena Lake Lodge had stated that he had guided Fishing and bear hunting trips for the outfitter that we had hunted and fished with the previous season and decided to open up a lodge of his own. Don made a point to let us know that his area was just as productive as the previous years outing in both the quality and numbers of bear and fish. Not Even Close!! The baits were set and run on occasion not daily. The 4 Hunters in camp hunted a total of 6 bait sites when we were told there were 30 active baits in the area. We saw a grand total of 2 bears for the entire week. Now don't get me wrong I have been in the hunting buisness for 25 years and I know that hunting is hunting. But this is the worst experiance one could imagine. It seemed to me as well as the other hunters and fishermen in camp that it was just a scam. I would never nor would I ever recommend Ena Lake Lodge or Don Brown to anyone. I have hunted all over the U S and Canada and have had bad hunts due to weather etc but the reputible outfitters did everything they could to make our hunts sucessful. And when I say sucessful, I do not necessarily mean harvesting an animal. I mean enjoying the experience. With that said Sportsmen Beware when it comes to Ena Lake Lodge and Don Brown.
