I know it's a bit a way yet, but I drew a Wisconsin Bear tag. I am debating whether or not to use my .62 Virginia rifle or my longbow. Last bear I shot was with my longbow and I am really leaning toward the rifle. Can't wait.

Heck, go with your leaning.
I like bear hunting! Good luck on your future hunt.

When is your window for the hunt? I would go with the .62 since you already have one with the bow!
Thump it with either. Hunt a couple of days with the bow, then a couple with the 62. Go with the flow. One doesn't have to preclude the other!
As is the style with the new agers, be polyamorous !

Use the smoke pole! It has a big enough bore to get the job done if you do your part. As you did it with a longbow, you are clearly steady as a rock and probably flinch-free.
Where in Wisconsin do you plan to hunt? Gonna hunt over a stand or with dogs?
Make sure to post pictures.

I am in Northern Wisconsin and the season will start around the 15th of September. Dogs get to go first this year a week earlier than that. I most likely will just stand hunt but I do have connections to dogs. I might even make myself a 18th century hunting shirt and get in the spirit.
