Yeah, off and on. If I'm counting right, I've killed 4 with various .44 magnums and 4 with the same Single Six .32 H&R magnum.
Back in the 80s maybe into the early 90s, if we were going to hunt with a handgun in Oregon we had to have our tag "handgun validated". At that point, though we hunted in rifle season, we could not use rifles, only handguns, so there was a pretty serious commitment required. Today we can switch back and forth as the mood strikes us. I still use both rifle and handgun, I just pick whatever seems appropriate for the location considering shot distance, cover, etc.
