Deer Whistles

After oblittering a deer and the front end of my truck last October, this October I bought these little deer whistle/siren things you put on your fender. You can't hear them but supposedly the deer do and are supposed to stay away. :ohwell: I was told by a friend that they work well and I bought some and personaly hadn't had any problems all month.

This morning I had not one but two deer jump out in front of me and two more that remained on the side of the road watching me drive past completely unphased by the deer siren/whistle thing. So now I'm feeling kind of silly and thinking -- well... is this like the emperor's new robe scenario or something... believing that because I can't hear it wtf really makes me believe a deer can hear these :crazy:

Could I just have them on backwards? :confused: There were no diagrams or anything on the package - in hindsight maybe I should have adhered one in each direction :doh: Anyone have any luck with these? Do they cause more harm by building a false sense of security (like I had for the past few weeks) then good? Do they work? :confused:

If you had them on backwards they would attract deer instead of scaring them away.

They need to extend the hunting season around here to thin out more of the deer.

I'm not indigenous to the country, I always thought 99% of the time they run out in front of you its because hunters are chasing them :lol: Guess not. :lol:

Most hunters around here don't chase deer. Too lazy. :lmao:
The whistles will alert the deer you are coming, but if they are spooked and running from something else they won't care.

Funny you should mention that, I was just now sitting here thinking about it and all, we did have some woods around between houses and didn't see hunters in the woods ever :shrug: I know this because as a young teenager there's really no other place to have relations with your date and sometimes you go for a walk in the woods. :shrug: Then after a few times of that you learn to date people that have cars. :smile: But no, I really` didn't see any hunters while I was romping in the woods or heard any guns or anything. :smile: I really didn't know about hunting until I moved to southern maryland. :shrug:
