You will see it once in a while in old writings and hear it in period dramas. It's usually, but not entirely, adult males who use the form.
You will be laughed at if you use it today.

In general, the ぬ ending is pretty much dead, right? I mean, you can use it and people will understand you, but it's like English "thou" and "thee": it would sound moderately pretentious to use it, and you'd be perceived as a silly person or someone a bit odd, wishing it were olden times.
Right?
