Anti-Deer devices

[babywhales]

its important that when you hit them you hit them in the right spot. makes it that much easier when you are cutting them up!

Clip the head, you hit the body forget about it.

hit 1...avoided about 100.

Best advice I have is if you see them take your foot off the accelerator and steel yourself not to swerve...it is too hard to correct yourself out of a jerking swerve.

Deer whistles are the greatest invention ever....for the inventor.  If you never hit one, then they must work.  If you do, well, what did you expect for 5 dollars.

strange thing I did notice for a 6 year period I had an old inherited Chrysler with locking wheel covers.  The wheel covers where a mess, so I took them off, but left the connecting plate on...no particular reason why, I think I was always going to get new wheel covers but never did.

Anyway, to drive from where I live in Virginia to Winchester it is 58 miles of deer teritory.  For some reason during those 6 years a deer NEVER crossed the road in my vicinity.  I think it was the clanking and at higher speeds the whirring of those plates.  Just a theory, but during the day i would see them stand motionless as I drove past.  Maybe that noise was something of a warning to their senses.

Hope this helps.

Why not just follow someone from safe distance? Let them hit the little brownies...

May not work all the times, but it's as good as the deer whistle and cost you nothing..

I was a passenger in the car when my wife hit the deer, actually the deer hit her car. Less than half a mile from my house she was going about 20 ml/h within city limits and the deer literally ran into her car.

I had a '68 Chrysler New Yorker. That thing was built like a tank with a 440/375 motor and torque flight transmission. It surprised a lot of muscle cars. Surprised? More like embarrassed. I don't think a deer would have put a dent in it.

Steven Wright on deer whistles:

"I accidentally installed the deer whistles on my car backwards. Now everywhere I go, I'm chased by a herd of deer."

Love Steven Wright.     "I have the world's largest collection of seashells. I keep it on all the beaches of the world... perhaps you've seen it. "

Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film.

The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder.

The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to catch up

For my birthday I got a humidifier and a de-humidifier... I put them in the same room and let them fight it out.

A lot of people are afraid of heights. Not me, I'm afraid of widths

I intend to live forever. So far, so good
