These aren't near my house. The deer near my house know better than to pop their little heads out of their hidey holes or they become jerky.

I live next to a national park with lots of deer, and after getting taken out by one I put a hornet deer whistle on the bike. IMO it makes a pretty big difference, deer in general don't like me coming towards them, and either stay out of the road/way, or run the other way.

those things actually work? :scratch:

My buddy here at the office that lives 55 minutes away (back in the friggin STIX in North Wilkesboro) has them on every vehicle and swears by them

might look into this, any particular brand?

I'll ask tomorrow...but I THINK it's just the Auto-Zone special :idk:

I like the Chericola but Trip is right. It starts getting nice about 90> and that is tooo fast for guard rails and 3in of run off before the 1000 ft fall.

I'd be interested to hear... there are hundreds of the damn things sleeping in the fields near my house.

It was what I thought...Auto-Zone special :idk: He said the key was mounting them perpendicular to the face of the vehicle so the air hits them dead-on.....he said on his (’04) camry they don't work well because of the curved bumper not letting him get the angle just right...said they run out in front of him all the time in that car, but the ('96 ford) truck and the ('91)corolla have flat front bumpers and he's able to get them square to the face of the wind. That when he drives those they run away from the road.

Side note: None of his cars have exhaust issues or aftermarket mufflers, so he ASSUMES it’s due to mounting the whistles properly on those cars

Google the hornet, it's 12v's and whistles all the time.

The insurance companies have tested the air powered ones, and say they're ineffective.

As for the Hornet I try to watch out for deer, and when they're close to the road, I see them look at me, a large number will actively leave, I've seen them change directions as I got closer. I think it gives them good auditory input so they know where you are, and if you're heading towards them, or they're heading towards you.

On the other hand IMO they won't save you at 100Mph (maybe if you install 2 to give it more range), as you get there to fast. But I have them on both bikes, and I still use them after 7+ years.
