does anybody hunt with these things anymore?

Has anybody (or should I say, how many times have you all) seen Quest for Fire?  On their journey to find some fire to bring back to their cold and stranded tribe, the 3 adventurers find many things, including a culture with advanced language, the ability to make fire with a firedrill, housing, and superior weaponry in the form of atlatls.  They then return home, only to be attacked by a few renegade members of the tribe who want the glory and power of bringing the fire themselves.  The brutes attack with giant, knarly, clumsy spears which fall waaaaay short of the mark, only to be taken down with the atlatl darts in short order.  One of my alltime favourite movies.

i know i guy who has killed a deer with an atlatle. and i myself have killed a rabit with one.

Hillbilly:
Alabama is I believe the only state where it is legal to hunt big game with them. they can be used in some other states for hunting certain things, and a couple states have atlatl legalization bills that they are considering. I know a couple people who hunt with them.

Otoe Bow:
Oklahoma regulations allow "hand propelled missiles" for small game but not big game.  Wild hogs on private land appear to be legal as well since there is no legal means specified unless it falls during an existing deer season.
