Just found out about this product and thought someone on this forum might be interested. Suppose to help avoid collisions with deer. I've never tried it, nor do I endorse the product. It's just FYI only. Here is the website: www.deerhornet.com.

I have read that deer whistles of all types do not work. I read that deer do not hear in the high freq ranges.

Anything that would work is of interest to me. I have hit three. The third one came through my windshield on an S-10 Blazer and broke my arm! I was in the turn lane entering our local airport and was at about 35 mph! Never saw the deer till it was in my lap!

I don't know, but the deer whistle don't work. If they did, our provincial government owned insurance company would have them mandatory. There's about 8000 cases of Bambi Bashing a year in Saskatchewan. Given a low deer population, wide open prairies, and wide ditches for snow control, that's a lot.

Let's not tell Saskatchewan Government Insurance about them, just in case.

Wonder if it works for kangaroos?

I that that's what "roo bars" where for?

I'm looking for one that shoo-es long-horned cattle off the road. Out here, the highways are two-lane, the speed limit is 70, and the range cattle have the right-of-way. And your insurence company won't like it one bit if you hit one cuz it's real expensive... Cattle have to graze at about 25-30 mph to keep from starving. Cattlemen make more off insurence collections than they ever will from converting these rangey bovines into Big Macs.
Worst offender I saw was one ornery ol' heffer that stepped out in front of the pickup in front of me. Wade grew up on an eastern oregon cattle ranch, so he knew to expect contraryness from her, but... Wade kept swerving from one side of the road to the other and which ever side Wade swerved to, the heffer went over there. Eventually, he stopped and slowly pushed her out of the way with his bumper. Could she just have been tired of chasing that next crop of feed?

I thought about re-regiistering as Aussiethug47 and posting along the lines of, "The people I shoot with, we don't need no deer hornet, we got north korean rodong missiles with a range of 2000 miles, we don't even need to go to ******* Pennsylvania , we can set up a hide in a Des Moines parking lot and obliterate every **** animal in New England, you wanna hornet, I got a F/A-18 Hornet under my bed, any bad guy come into my place I wipe him out with under-wing missiles, landmines is best for deer, you should see what a row of tin cans looks like after I've let off a battery of ship-launched cruise missiles from my bathtub .... " and so on. But I decided against it.

Sure does my heart good to read your missives! I'm a little bit of a recreational liar myself and I find the work of REAL MASTERS enlightening!

This is too good. You've adapted well to the writing style. :)

O.K. guys, since this person (something thug47) has been addressed, I've noticed under his handle name it says "Banned". Why? What have I missed? What exactly does that mean? Have never seen that before. :confused: Thanks

Mr. Thug has taken a short sabbatical from the forum, for reasons which should be obvious. If they're not, then don't worry about it.

Yes sir! Understood. :eek:

I can't tell you deer whistles work, but I have never seen a moose entering the road when I had them on my car. Iv'e seen them LEAVING. but not entering.
At the cost of these whistles, why not put them on? PS I have hit five moose, including one that was already dead.
I drive 3hours daily, mostly in the dark.
