I learned this lesson when a coyote did $3400 worth of damage to my brand new 2019 CR-V. Bought these deer whistles on Amazon two sets for $8.99 and well worth it. Don’t be next!

Reminds me of the old Steven Wright bit: "I accidentally installed the deer whistles on my car backwards. Now everywhere I go, I'm chased by a herd of deer."

I wounder if anyone has done a study to see if deer act differently depending on vehicle loudness.
They don't dart out in from of my geo like they do when I drive my loud old pick up. I also notice that most dear wreaked vehicles are big or louder.

In fact when I am out deer hunting by way of just driving around I can get pretty close in my car. When I am in the truck they are already running from a good distance away.

Two types of Deer Whistles were the first accessories I installed on my VB XL. At least the Maverick's grill lends itself to allowing black whistles to blend in.

A body shop man showed me a used deer whistle. It seemed to work as bug catcher. It was so clogged with bugs I don't think it whistled any more.

If the deer don’t cross where the sign clearly says “Deer Crossing”, it’s their own fault…. If the Deer would only stay in the RUT, the streets would be good to go… just sayin,

haha I use to live in rural Virginia, these do absolutely zero, and I have both hit, and been hit by deer. Mashed brakes as a deer stopped in the road and just looked at my ranger which had these. Actually, had a car in the shop for hitting one, and in the rental card I had, one ran into the side of it. Too many deer up there. Unless the Deer in that area were all deaf, I vote snake oil too.

They did an episode on deer whistles on Mythbusters. They do nothing.

deer whistles are a car placebo. if you see deer flash your lights. it will stun them for a second. do not honk, that will spook them further.
