Save-A-Deer Whistle

Works for me and my family. I live by these. When I got my first car in 1991, my insurance gave these out for free. Later if you wanted to purchase they charged $2 each. We have been blessed all these years. Every vehicle my kids buy, we install a deer whistle. I have a Escalade withe cameras but I still have a whistle. It works for us. My son just got aPrius and will attach the deer whistle. I’m so sorry it did not work for some but we all live by them. We live in rural Mississippi.

Brilliant layer of safety for me and my family. Inexpensive. Easy to install. Unobtrusive. Well made. Seems based on legit science.I’ve lived in deer country. Hitting a deer is no joke. Best strategy is avoid hitting them. This inexpensive item is a way better deal than the vehicle damage, personal injury, and hassle after hitting a deer. I have them on all our vehicles.

December 2015 my fiancée bought a 2016 model Elantra GT for me, it was my first ever brand new car. Just under two weeks later, while driving home from work after midnight, a deer that I never even saw because it was out of my peripheral line of sight...ran full on straight into the driver side of my brand new car as it attempted to bolt across a city street. It impacted dead center, where my shoulder and left arm was located, of the front driver door. It then rolled down the side of the car additionally damaging the rear driver door and busting the rear hub cap into several pieces. Blood and fur were left all over the side of the car. Luckily I was ok however the deer was not. It resulted in over $3,000 in damage. I was sick and afraid of being blind sided by another deer.After the car went in the shop to be repaired, I immediately started looking for deer whistles that might work to prevent this from happening again. I found and ordered this Save-A-Deer whistle for every automobile we owned at the time. It was mounted on my car as soon as the whistle came in and as soon as my car returned from the body shop. It has been on there ever since.So far I have not yet had any more collisions with deer. I work evenings 45 minutes from home and am always driving at night. I see tons of deer year round where I live. The deer definetly seem to hear me coming now. They always either lift their heads and turn it toward the direction from which I am approaching and stand motionless or they complete turn and move away or sometimes even run away in the opposite direction from the road.Before the whistles were installed deer never seemed to pay attention to my car or more often than not they would attempt to bolt out into the road in front of me. That does not happen anymore so I am a believer in the whistles.This last whistle I purchased is for a new truck my fiancé bought for himself. He hit a deer on two different occasions in his old truck before installing any deer whistles. After installing the Save-A-Deer whistle on the old truck, he had no more collisions with deer. It made him a believer in the whistles as well and he actually asked me if I would order this last whistle for him as a birthday present. He put it on his new truck as soon as it was delivered.This makes six that I've bought so far. For every new automobile we buy, a new whistle is one of the first purchases I make for them. I even put one on my son's car. They stay put once they are on, they do not fall off. We wash the automobiles by hand and I also frequently run mine through automatic touchless car washes and the whistles have not come off yet. I haven't had any problems with them getting clogged up with dirt or bugs so that hasn't been an issue for me. I love the slim line profile of these whistles, they easily fit in the front grill so they do not take away from the look of the car...you seriously can not see them unless you really look closely.

all I can say is that I haven't had any close calls since I've had it on my car

On long commutes in the night, I have seen deer crossing highways and smaller roads and had some close calls. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) for a friend who smashed a deer with his truck on a night drive, his collision caused him to buy one of these deer whistles. When he told me about his incident, I realized this could happen to anyone. At any rate, he said that since that time he installed one of the whistles and has not had a single run-in since that time.I have had mine installed on my car for now a couple of years and have not run into a deer yet. This is after tacking on probably about 15,000 to 20,000 miles.Does this mean the deer whistle works? I don't know if that is a straight cause and effect, but, knock on wood, it seems to be working!PROS: Great price, easy install, no deer hit yet, blends in with carCONS: You won't know if it does not work unless a deer hits youVERDICT: Buy it! What do you have to lose?On some occasions, I have seen deer freeze when I am approaching. This may be due to the deer whistle, or they were just astute deer. I really can't know for sure, but I think getting a device like this really doesn't do any harm.I think it's a safe bet.

Can I hear it? NO! Does it work? Seems to! Luckily I have not encountered Deer but I do see Rabbits running away from the road well before my vehicle is close and also see Owls take off away from side road fencing.
