Do any of you have a deer warning whistle or such on your bikes? I always wondered if they worked or not. Do you have the electronic or the forced air type?
Thanks

 

I NEVER have had one , and NEVER have hit a deer

 

Many studies have been done by state game departments around the country, and the end result is the same:

"They don't work".

 

Almost as controversial as what Oil Do I Use?

Ride Em Carry Em

 

Forced air. When I see one bolt I yell "Oh Sh*t" really loud....

 

Had one mounted on the front fender of my RKC for yearsand am convinced they don't work. Drove by deer along the rodemany times and they never even looked up. Damn thing probably attracts them to it, for allanyone knows....

 

There was a study posted on another forum where test results had more whistle equipped vehicles hit deer than non equipped.

 

At one time I hauled salvage for the insurance companies, tons of vehicles with deer whistles attached were totalled out WHY? They hit a deer!!!!

 

I have one and I haven't hit a deer yet. I think they're great! They also work on other things. Since I put it on, I've not hit any giraffe, elephants, komodo dragons, obese women or boa constrictors, just to name a few. Oh, and also swimming pools.

I have the forced air ones on my RKC. I mostly agree with the post above that they work great. I haven't hit any dear although I did clip a giraffe and t-boned an obese woman. [8D]
