I whistle to them all the time and they never come when I do !!

 

I'll never take mine off.......because I know he's waiting

 

Dear whistles absolutely do work! Last time I whistled at a dear she slapped me!!

 

The deer run from my loud pipes, on my Harley, way more than they did from my stock Vulcan 750. Don't want to start a pipes debate, just sayin'.

 

Would love to see a pic of your electric deer whistle Rider4. If it actually works, would be worth looking into...

 

Deer whistles are a waste of time. Loud pipes may get a deers attention and make it run, but it just might run right out in front of you. I've see it happen. Deer on shoulder, downshift and hit the gas, deer jumps and runs, but not necessarily away from you. Put on a whistle if you think it will help. Have loud pipes if you think it will help, but nothing will keep you safer than staying alert and paying attention. Even that ain't 100%, but it is the best thing you have going for you.

I have read where some people say they do and some say they don't. Even if they do work to some degree, it's not 100%.
I have them on mine. I got the plastic chrome ones mounted under the tripple tree. They are cheap, not really noticeable under there, so what have you got to lose? I'm leaving mine on at least till one of them falls off by itself.
Even if they don't work, they can't hurt to have them on anyway.


I am with him, don't hurt.

 

Deerwhistle? I've never seen a deer with a whistle around here. Must be a midwest thing.

 

They work as well as the tornado, high performance grounding wires, power balance wristbands, dynabeads, gremlin bells, and snake oil.
