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.

That's great[sm=icon_rofl.gif]
I don't believe they work I had them before and hit a few with my truck and have close calls everyday with both my bike and the truck. Decided it was better just to get a cattle guard 4 the truck, now if I could just make one for my bike

I have them on my Ultra. Ride at night alot.

I used to see deer coming home from work, put them on and don't see them much any more. Could be they are not there anymore? Have had deer on the side of the road stop before crossing air horn made them go the other way. Don't know if they work or not (probably not) but make me feel better!

When you attach the deer whistle, also attach a magnet to the bottom of your frame. It will help trip stop lights andgive you 1mpg better gas mileage. Also protects from lightning strikes and alien abductions.

I use the Elephant Whistles here in N. Central Florida. Got them off E-bay at $39.95 with free shipping to the lower 48 states. Man do these things WORK. J have not seen the first Elephant while riding the bike.

I've seen more than a few cars in our body shop equipped with deer whistles... getting deer hit damage repaired. Total waste of money.
