Deer Alerts? Do they work?

[Huddleston]

I saw in a post that one mod an owner had done was to add a deer alert. I've never used one and wonder if many people do and if they work. Of course that is hard to prove if you never hit a deer. I wonder if Lamont had one on his bike. Any thoughts?:dontknow:

No and no...

:agree: The deer might hear them; there's no guarantee what they'll do with that knowledge... :shocked:

No and no...

Laconic!:hun:

The question to ask is has anyone hit a deer in the daytime (at night the headlights may blind a deer and cause them to freeze so that wouldn't count) while they had the deer alerts on their vehicle.

You got me with that one. I don't have to look up words often but I did this one.

I like that word! Thanks!

I had to look it up too! Yep, great word! No answer to the question asked, but great word nonetheless!!

I'm sure someone can show you statistics which indicate they don't work and someone else can find statistics that show they do work. I'll just say they work as well as those magnets you may place under your spyder to make it past those traffic light loops.


I do have a deer alert on my spyder along with the magnet. Statistics show the deer alert only works on 2008 SM5's which are red, as long as you are also using the magnet.

Sorry, not quite as laconic as BajaRon.

This is a bit less laconic...

:agree: I got the exact results in my testing. :roflblack:

Also 100% effective in deterring Bigfoot.

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

 

[Ga Blue Knight]

They work as well as a Colonic. And worth about half as much. How's that for Laconic?

 

[BajaRon]

Doesn't look like we will come to a conclusion on the deer whistle. But 'Laconic' is a hit!

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!

I hit one at dusk, but it was right after I came over the crest of a hill, and could have blocked the whistles sound!:dontknow: I know before my dog passed away, she would ride in the back of the car, with her head out the window and at a certain speed, she would start to whine, always thought it was the whistles! I have also had friends follow me and say they saw a deer come out of the bush and suddenly stop! Again :dontknow:! That being said I have hit three, two without whistles, and one with. I have them on the Spyder and car , I figure for the price, what do you have to lose!:thumbup:

They work as well as garlic to ward off vampires. I haven't hit a deer, and I haven't seen a vampire either.

'Round here, the mule deer and elk just stand in the middle of the road trying to stare you down; as if sayin' "bring it on".

 

[Motorcycledave]

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO THEY DON'T WORK

Ask anyone who hit a deer that had them, A nice deer rifle works best.

Interesting reading. You judge for yourself. Its like gambling at the casino. You alway try to tweak the odds in your favor.
