I have heard mixed things about deer whistles, which is why I didn’t bring it up in the article. The majority of information is that they don’t work at all. I did contact the local sheriff’s department in my area before publishing the article, but they never got back to me before publishing time – or any time thereafter.

My advice would be to contact your local police station or sheriff’s office to get the correct information.

Do they actually work?

I mean, I’ve never hit a deer, and we have them on all of our cars, but I can’t say if that’s just luck or not.

This is great info, we live in a heavily deer population area, and recently we had an ELK jump out in front of the car in front of us. My friend in the car was trying to figure out why that horse had antlers lol I can’t imagine hitting one of those, I don’t think you would recover too well from that.
