Are deer whistles worth a damn?

[MountainGoat]

I had the simple non-electronic whistles years ago and I hit a deer with them on the car. I'm wondering if the electronic ones are any better if anyone uses them. They range from $18 to $300. ?‍

Nope.

I sat in my tree stand for six hours blowing my deer whistle. Never saw a deer ?

They only alert the deer that your coming so they can jump out in front of you !!!

It's all a scam.

If only they could do a squirrel whistle that force them to make a decision.

Just drove across route 16 in Georgia today. GDOT signs: 'DON'T VEER FOR DEER'.

Saw like a dozen carcasses both ways.

skip the deer whistles. use the money to install some really wide beam powerful lights so you can get a good view of the places deer like to hide waiting to jump out of in the dark. my amber wide flood lights have saved at least one white tail this year and a stack of cash from leaving my pocket for repairs.

If they worked they would be standard equipment and $1,000 each to replace.

Deer are everywhere here. I'll send you some.

Sometimes........you gotta hit the deer.......to get the insurance check........to get the deer processed!

back roads around me get deer now and then but lots of hogs. hate them piggys. most of them are dark colors so they are hard to spot on the shoulders. they cause deadly crashes too often. a few years ago a group of hogs attacked a woman and basically ate her alive in the front yard of her home. i think she was walking from the front door of the house to her car and they attacked as a pack.

You’re onto something Dan!

Just like in Old Yeller, except for the eating her alive part.
