    Absolutely they do work I live in NJ there are tons of deer out here I take a ride to my friend's house almost on a daily basis and not ever once on my ride do I not see at least 20 deer just on the side of the road. I've had a lot of Close Encounters I have never hit a deer( knock on wood) and this is just going to help ensure that I absolutely never do in the near future either I've seen raccoons and possums run out of the way of the road when they hear the whistle of my vehicle coming. So yes I believe they absolutely do work!

    They have to be mounted 3 feet apart for best results. It also doesn't matter what side open or closed whistle goes they work together. I worked with the importer who introduced them in the United States in th 80's. Was called deer alert.

    I live in Maine and while nothing is truly 100% effective - these do help tremendously. We just might have more deer than humans especially now that we have more woods than we did 100 years ago.

    Sterling,do you recommend any particular brand of deere whistle ? I recently had a near fatal collision with a deere in Newburg Wi as I crossed the bridge over the Milwaukee river @ approx.25 mph or less and slowing down as I was nearing the downtown area..I slammed on the brakes as I saw the deere on my left running in front of me just as I made it over the bridge. .It made it past the drivers side and then it sort of slipped and fell on the passenger side.I must have hit it slightly,but I did not hear or feel anything.I am not exactly sure what happened,but NO DAMAGE..The deere got back up quickly and ran away. A miracle just happened.There was actually fir from the deere stuck in one front panel.I don't have deere whistles on my jeep..Maybe I should.I went right to the bar as alcohol was the only thing that would calm me down.

      Like underneath? The Instructions say to put it in the front of the vehicle for airflow and sound travel. The further from the front of the vehicle the later the deer will hear it. Delaying the warning sound.
