I did if flintlocks count 

I've used a couple for pest removal.  If you call that hunting.   I have a 17 MachIV/ as renamed 17 Rem. Fireball now In the smallest f the FBW actions----not sure which number it is that I have used to  ret rid of problem Coons and Woodchucks that persisting in digging around the foundations of my sisters house.   I have used A couple 22rf, one in a nice oid nickled Ballard that was rebarreled with a Hart barrel by an old friend who gave it to me as a gift, and a rebarrellerd and nicely restocked Rem Rollr #2 for general to thin the starlings that get into the black wild cherry trees and deposit purple crap over everything and the occasional red squirrel  I've also used a martini refitted with a tight Anschutz barrel in the 22 hornet, with cast bullets for small game. 
  I have a Ruger #1 in 220 swift on loan to a friend who used it for the coyotes his farm and woods are plagued with.   his wife is an animal lover who feeds the deer birds and everything else.  but she saw coyotes taking down a fawn a couple springs ago and has an absolute hatred of coyotes.   His old lever deer rifle didn't have that range---- And she wouldn't let him shoot IT there anyway.  so I loaned him the Swift--I may have a tough time getting it back. 

I'm working on a custom Ruger #1 project with Steve Durren.  It's  reworked another 45-70 with the barrel set back and rechambered for a Michigan-legal 1.8 inch long "straight-walled" "pistol case-----A'la 460 Rem magnum but for 458 rifles bullets rather that 452 pistol bullets. that will give me a rifle that is legal to hunt deer with in the southern half of the Michigan-Mitten and Indiana---both areas that were shotgun only until this new law a couple years ago.

Years back I took my high wall in .30 US deer hunting. Shot a blacktail north of Yuba City. It was to celebrate the rifle's hundredth birthday. 1895-1995. Only time I did it.

Mere small game; my 44 with a full-length Stevens scope rid the world of twice that many of the evil-eyed Grackles which terrorize my feeders during the summer; and to add insult to injury, I let the coons that also pester me devour their carcasses overnight.

My hunting has been restricted to single shots for most of the last 15 years, .54 cal Hawken, 45-70 Sharps and 45-70 Springfield trapdoor. Have shot several deer with each, mostly at 75-125 yds. 45-70 is big medicine on whitetail deer, never needed a second shot. I did need a second shot with the Hawken once, but the deer wasn't going anywhere so it was no problem to re-load and finish the job. 
One problem is that with iron sights, you cant shoot until well after the season opens because you don't have enough light. 
I never felt I was at a disadvantage with any of the rifled I hunted with, just have to pick your shots carefully and know what you can do and what ;you cannot do.

A few single shots. 
Stevens Favorite in .22LR for small game. Ruger #1 in .375 H&H but loaded to .38-55 
ballistics for deer and bear. H&R Handi-rifle in 30-30 for deer. Also have a Ruger #1
with GM barrel in 7mm-08 done by S. Durren. Really nice but has not been hunting yet.

I'm working on a stock for a FBW in 7mm-07. Progress is slow since I really don't 
do well at wood.
The Favorite has the original sights. The others have Leupold 1.5x5
VXII or VXIII's since my eyesight isn't quite what it used to be. The stickpin fire
wiped my traditional hunting area; after 55+ years of hunting the same area it is hard
to change. Hunted the Selkirks last fall. Did OK; there is venison in the freezer again.

2 or 3 deer with a 38-55 Hiwall and one with a Trapdoor. Carried a 38-55 Ballard and a 38-40 Hiwall a couple times but no luck.
