Coming home last night after work.
She says she was doing about 85mph and a deer jumped in front of her, she went across 3 lanes sideways, the POS deer even backtracked on her. She missed it by inches, really freaked her out. She didn’t want to take the teen to work this afternoon, but I made her get back in the saddle. Do the whistles work? Where could I mount and hide them? P. S. the 914 is OK! |

There are two kinds of deer "whistles", the cheapo bumper mounted ones and the active electronic ones. The cheapo ones rely on airflow, so you have to keep them clean and mount them more or less in the airstream and drive fast enough to get them "loud" enough, tho they're ultrasonic and we'll never hear 'em (and never know if they're really "working"). The active electronic ones are crankin' whether you're moving or not, and some add additional annoying (to animals) harmonics that the simple forced air gizmo's can't. Some of our club members who do a lot of vehicle towing (ditto on Pocono deer haven) have the active ones and swear by them.
