Greetings:
Here in the interior highlands of southern Missouri we have a large
population of whitetail deer. I don't run the whistles, but a number of
my neighbors do. Since 1985, one feller has killed five deer while
running whistles and another neighbor has nailed two with his pickup
truck. I once hit one while running flat out in a VW transporter (no
whistles) and it is not a pleasant ride.
At any rate, I have heard of other whistle-equipped vehicles tangling
with local deer and it seems to me that the whistle business really
isn't too effective.
Whistling in the dark,
David F. Darby
