Default Looking for an electronic deer avoidance
What do you recommend? I am looking at the Kuryakyn one, there are some good ones in the marker up to $250. Tell me what works for you, thanks Alex

You think hitting a deer is funny, don't you?
I already have a shotgun on my fatboy, no room for a second one.

I never heard of a deer avoidance device. Deer are here also. A friend hit one and was lucky as he came out of it ok...

I think the Kuryakyn one is made by the same company

I don't think they work. A friend had one on his car and still hit a deer.

LOL, the website claim 70% efficiency, nothing is 100% in a real world.

Default Deer Device
I have one under the lip of my front fender. Picked it up from State Farm Insurance. Package stated it is not guranteed to prevent deer collisions. Been a year now and haven't lost it nor have I hit a deer or one me. I guess it works. LOL Must be doing at least 35 mph for it to reach whatever frequency deters deers. Plus Side- It is free (well kind of)

I have mine installed last week, I guess there is no way to test it until I hit one lol. Knock on wood and keep the clean side up.

They don't work, but an electric fence keeps them out of my garden.
