You can dispatch em from afar with that hog leg.
Good luck.

Well it's long enough to whack em on the head it it doesnt work out! LOL Sorry but I had to say it!!!

When I'm running leg holds, I carry my Ruger Super Single Six .22 and if I'm in my canoe or boat checking leg holds, I use my Henry .22 lever action. I still love my Encore for everything else!

thats what i thought if i cant hit them with a shell i can sure wack em with it i have a few canoes thats a great idea set foot traps along the river never thought about that in the fall maybe ill give it a try i have a marlin 39a but think the encore will work fine and would rather give the encore a bath than the marlin for sure

well after playing with the gun n holster last night came up with it needs altered. so i took it to the shoe maker today going to have him cut the top of the holster where the rear sight is catching on the leather . so hes going to cut out around the rear sight sew it then sew a hood over the cut out so the rear sight clears the leather 15 bucks about a week and a half hes busy . hope when i get it back it does not look like i did it

. just figured if i let it catch i was going to rip the threads were already tore up some and the leather looked like it was rubbing from day one . no biggie

I use my canoe on small lakes, and smaller rivers. When I'm on the larger rivers, I use my 14ft tin can with my 10hp. Yes I do cover more water in my boat but I do prefer the canoe!

How did that 22 barrel end up working for you on that Encore?
