Has anyone here actually snuck up on a deer with a pistol and killed it ?

So far, I have killed 6 in the last 9 years with a pistol. 44 mag, 454 Casull and 50 S&W Mag.
Never tried that. That comes under "still hunting". That isn't the only way to do it. You can sit in a tree stand or ground blind to do that. All with a pistol. Makes the hunt more challenging when your range is way limited. I can easily kill deer at 200 yards with a rifle. Pistol, 100 yards is difficult even with a scope. This year, I plan to hunt black bear over bait with a pistol too. Not sure what I will end up using but there it is.
