My experience with those "Deer Whistles"
showed me they are useless.
When I was an over the road truck driver I lost count how many deer I hit, I put a set on a couple of my trucks but it made no difference. I have hit a few deer with every truck I had. I am sure they hear a 425hp CAT screaming down the road with 18 tires growling away, the problem seems to be that if they are already running you will not stop or redirect them. Deer are totally unpredictable!!!
When deer get 'light' in their eyes at night they usually either freeze or run.. and if they run, then just a motorcycle rider, they go where they look... and what is it they can see? Yup, the light. Which puts us on a collision coarse with them. I have also noticed that blowing a horn often times produces a reaction from the deer, but due to the unpredictability, but you never know what the reaction will be.
as always ..just my 2 cents and barely worth that!!
