Dear whistle

unfort deer and moose are like horses, they rarely hit reverse. deer are nimbler, but not smarter! if spooked they run forward til its clear and then 90 left or right . the whistles tend to spook them and unless in a field they will usually hit the road.

case in point: driving my RS with a rather loud borla set up on it, 45-50 in 4th is about 3500rpm, (the car can be heard coming for quite a distance) up a back road the other morning all of a sudden a cow moose jumps out in front of me:eek:, luckily on the other side of the road:spinmastert: both feet in and hope for the best. once she hit the road, running mind you, she saw me and headed up the road in the other direction. now she heard me coming for almost a minute before I got there because it is a good grade to get to where we met. now did she stop and run the other way, nope!

best defense it to keep your eyes peeled and hope for the best

 
if you see a deer in the road your best option is slow down and aim for the arse. most hooved animals will not walk backwards. and if you cannot slow down and it wont move, your best option then is the again turn the car towards the rear of the animal because striking the animal with the front of the car is bad.

when you turn away form the animal you can hopefully hit it with the fender and possibly get him to roll up and over the A pillar of the car, it is the strongest part of the car and safest to hit a big animal with. and it wont destroy the motor and you can not only live to tell, but get home to tell.

 
An ex-coworker, Rieneau (silly lil french geezer), hit a deer, got the car fixed and added whistles, hit another deer, added more whistles, then hit another. If anything they attract deers.

What we really need are beer whistles. Whenever you're driving around and become beer thirsty start blowing the whistle. Customary beer whistle procedure is to invite in whistle blower and have a couple beers with thirsty guy/girl.

 
I have experience for those, I ran over one that fell off a car in the car wash booth. It didn't whistle then, it made like a plastic cracking noise

deer are tricky, gadgets called for. Moose, some claim know the density of what they are running into. A deer is more like a brainless crackhead when it decides to do something weird (unpredictable). the whistles do not work. I have had thick bumpered cars, that got hit, and riding along in my dads rig when one got caught up under the trailer. Completely out of its mind. nothing works, its a lottery, a risk for all drivers. If a storm is moving in, they like to move the family to safer places, they do have a brain in the barometer respect, or whatever it is they know about impending lows...and mostly at dusk/night/morning of course...and bugs..if they are getting thick fast, they move like a bitten bat out of hell (moose too). haven't seen that excuse in years..bizarre not to.
