Scott, I'm not certain I understand you LOW question completely but I often run through Baudette towards Duluth via the "north route" which would be Baudette to International falls MN then south through Orr, Cook, Virginia & on down to Duluth. Duluth to Baudette is a solid 4 hours. You need to look for the truck bipass route that goes around I-Falls, it will save you 1/2 an hour I swear! I falls is a very slow town to try and get through. (Unless you want to go through town)
I'm a good hour from Baudette.
Tom, I use an Encore too and I really like it. Mine was pre hype (from before they showed up on every hunting show on TV) So I got into it very reasonable. Prices have damn near doubled since then so if I was in the market for myself I'm not sure if the Encore would be on my list.
I honestly think the CVA wolf is one of the best values out there today.
