In light of SNOOPS bambi encounter, has anyone considered putting deer whistles on their bikes?

Question

I've used them for the past 8 years.Don't know if they work, but I thought it was worth the ten bucks.[no pun intended]

Get well soon, snoop.

Answer 1

I also live in the Phoenix area, don't see deer here since Effem Tee2 put six of them on.  Only time I see deer is up in northern Arizona or the surrounding states.

Answer 2

They don't work.  Studies done by Washington State University and Oregon State University have proven that they do not work in stopping deer or repelling deer.

Answer 3

I've got them on my bike. I haven't seen a deer since I put them on and I live in a rural area where there are lots of them. Don't know if it's because of the whistles or my pipes (or either). Don't really care as long as they stay clear of me.

Answer 4

they do NOT work,all they do is clear bills from your wallet

Answer 5

i'm with you, for the 10 $ why not ?

Answer 6

No, I haven't. Never thought they would work. Been told many times they don't.

Yeah, Sn00p, you got the r****d, alright. The ones down here don't like my pipes. The meese don't either.

It's the time of year when I see 2 deer in the road more often than one. Like the other night, a small doe followed by a fawn.

When all you see is a small one, Momma's nearby. Same for bears.

Gone for a week? Man, you heal quick.

Answer 7

many many many motorcycists use them, good advice.

Answer 8

If a deer is running through the woods, then across the road you are riding on the only thing that will keep them off you is a 30-06. A whistle ?  The sound of 6 lanes of traffic on the freeway doesn't keep them out of traffic. Get a hunting license and shoot as many as you can get permits for.

Answer 9

I had them on a Gold Wing and its the only time I've seen deer come out two at a time.

There is no evidence that they work.  If they do make a noise audible to deer, by the time they hear it its too late.    

Its the same principle that applies to the myth of loud pipes saving lives.

Answer 10

I live in Pheonix,AZ.  I have six of them on my bike.  Never saw any deer, so they must work.

And my elephant repellent is working too: never saw one in my back yard.

Answer 11

sn00p should  get the riders Medal of Honor , like marine jumping on a greanade to save his group !

Answer 12

Probably a better option is to take up deer hunting with a vengeance and convince all your friends to do the same. I love all animals, but thanks to the idiots running the show we have a huge over-population of deer in my part of the country.

Answer 13

my pipes woulda drowned out any faint whistle, lol

musta been a retarded deer

and there is no way anyone/anything near the group didn't hear us all coming for a mile, i was in a group... i just happened to be in lead.... lucky me

and thanks.... i'm doing well, amazingly well considering

Answer 14

Had 4 on a truck

I guess they would work just as well on a bike

Anybody heard from Snoop Today???
