Deer Alerts? Do they work?

[Chupaca]

Don't know..!!

but while in Texas we sold a ton of them..gotta say did not have folks bring in their bikes to repair from a deer incounter. Now poles, cars, fences etc. A lot but then there is no whistle for them..!! :roflblack:

I am sure that a deer will hear the deer whistle. He may even be frightened by it. He could even run away! But which way? Towards you or away from you? I don't think there's enough grey matter resident to help the deer avoid anything. When I was younger and did a lot of mule deer hunting we would blow a police whistle at a running deer. They would always stop turn and look at us. Of course that was the last thing they saw.

Der Alerts

I put the deer deterrent horns on my truck. I didn't hit any deer, but I hit about 10 birds in the first week...I had had never hid a single bird before! nojoke

I took them off because I got sick of cleaning the truck's windshield!

Aren't you glad Cows Don't Fly !!

I've got an elephant alert on my truck... It must work because I've never hit one... :roflblack:

Dang it Bob you stole my joke!!:lecturef_smilie: :roflblack:

My wife swears by them. She has them in her car and on her RS-S. She says she's seen deer on the side of the road move opposite when she's on the road. BTW she has the $10.00 Wally World version installed.

But for that matter, $10.00 is a cheap gamble. JMHO

Deer Alert

Good Day I have deer alerts on my Spyder I ride on country road for 12 miles each direction 5 days a week
deer are very prevalent in my neck of the woods. All I can say I had 3 near misses at 4AM on my way to work
50-70 miles an hour. Since adding the deer alert to the front last summer I have not seen any. Maybe the placebo
effect but I feel better. I'm thinking of adding the bump skid Lamonster makes just in case they fail. It is important
that they are even with no obstruction between them so they can hit the frequency's necessary for warning the
animals. Good luck

Simply put, they don't work.

There's all the proof anyone needs. You just read it on the internet.

This thread reminds me of what almost happened to us on our new Spyder yesterday evening. We took our first mini road trip (90 miles roundtrip) to eat at one of our favorite Mexican restaurants yesterday afternoon, returning home just at dark. We were about ten minutes from getting home and all of a sudden a baby fawn showed up on the highway in front of me. I was cruising at about 60mph and was afraid of swerving hard as I am still getting the feel of how the Spyder turns, especially at higher speeds. I came within inches of hitting that little deer. I am pretty sure that even though it was a small baby, it would have caused some serious problems for us. The funny thing is that my wife just recently purchased four of these deer alarms mentioned in this thread and we have yet to put them on any of our vehicles. I think that if I put one on our Spyder, it surely wouldn't hurt.

Make your own decision



make your on call...

A friend in W VA hit 2 w/o. whistles installed o with. Traded her truck an got a new one hit 1 w/o installed them body count 0 to date. But you got to be moving 35 MPH, supposedly to make effective. ,

 

[shelbydave]

Had to bring this up again...:roflblack:

 

[spydaman60]

i put them on and consider it a $9.95 investment. i'm sure i've made better investments and i think i've made worst, but as long as i don't hit a deer, so far it's been a good investment! nojoke
