I read another post here that was funny. Want to avoid deer? Dress up in camoflage and wear an orange vest. Then you won't ever see one.

Now that's funny!

Deer Alerts never work. The idea is that they emit a high frequency sound. Thing is that deer don't hear higher frequency than people. So if we don't hear it the dear won't either.

I was on an endurance rally a few years back on my Beemer in the Saw Tooth mountain range and had a near miss with a healthy bear of some kind. The ABS kept me out of trouble but I still stopped and admired him, he had a mission on the other side of the road. I do like the idea of a big bore rifle, thats a cure all.

Deer scare the chit out of me, as we have them everywhere now. The state is trying to organize a "thinning of the herd" hunt, but the tree huggers always are protesting..........

I might add, that a day doesn't go by that you don't see a new road kill laying on the side of the road

Yes MCN did a test on deer alerts. They worked quite well at....... lightening your wallet.

I once had a Firemen tell me tell me they mount them on all the Firetrucks and haven't hit one deer.
Oh yeah it couldn't be the siren or loud exhaust that scared the deer away, it must have been the little plastic
deer whistle! He said it with a straight face! GOSH-IDIOT!


Also while in a store I overheard a lady ask the salesperson "Do these deer whistles work?
He said you don't see any deer in here do you? Maybe she should have asked a Firemen! LOL.

How do you know this? I hear all this garbage about deer hear it, deer dont see color, deer see blue jeans like the sun in the dead of night. Have you actually walked up and had a conversation with a deer and asked him flat out wether or not he can hear the little wistle?

I wish something truly worked. I leave work sometimes around 4:00am and I live in the mountains. The whole ride home is not real enjoyable being on red alert for Bambi the entire ride!!!
