There were over 26,000 dead deer “removed from roads” in Wisconsin in 2010. That does not include the ones that were hit and managed to get off the road and were unreported. There is little belief here in “deer whistles” as offering safety, although some improvement is claimed. They are seldom on police/sheriff cars. To add to our problems, the DO Transportation no longer keeps most road ditches clear of vegetation, so visibility adds to the risk. Gotta’ slow down, especially in November/December (mating) and May/June when the yearlings are pushed out by newborn. Life is more important than time/testosterone! If you can’t stop in the distance you can see clearly, you’re going too fast! Note: not limited to deer. Ride safely, avoid the deer and come home to the dear!

I hear a lot a anticdotal opinions, such as they did not work for me. Were your headlights blinding them? Were you going 90 miles an hour, and 70 on a back road as in the video? Were they on a major highway where the road roars with sound from the cars? Certainly they don't work in all situations. Here is a study done by the Business Research Group here in Iowa. http://deerwhistle.com/Test_20Model_20No_209.pdf I don't think anyone thinks they work all the time, but they only have to work once to save a bunch of pain. Their best working situation is at night on a secondary road. I would not bother with them if I only rode in the city during the day.

Personally I can't believe that they work at all. Deer have excellent hearing, and if I can hear a car/bike coming down the road so can they.

It depends on the tune they play. Deer prefer Ragtime Jazz and will run to the source of such music so you want to make sure you don't pick up any of those whistles. -Kyle On Fri, Jun 8, 2012 at 8:27 AM, Javier Garcia <[email protected]> wrote: I always wondered if those whistles actually work.

And Allen, Ya, I saw that too and wondered what that patch was. The one rider said, it told you to watch out for deer. I think the speed was more of a factor! I think I am going to put some deer whistles on my ST. They can be hidden under the fairing before my next long trip at the end of June.
