If you have a deer whistle, you may wonder if it is working. Since you cannot get out on your hood to ride at 60 or 70 mph, you just have to have faith that it is in fact functional. And it may not working at all, since most of the debris you hit on the road is concentrated to the front section of your auto. If you have a Hornet, y0u will hear it if you are in your garage or parked near a building. You may even hear it if you roll your windows in the city following a semi truck. Be Safe Be Sure Use a Hornet.

Several years ago I was traveling from Chicago, IL to Des Moines, IA. Just east of Davenport, IA there is a stretch of I-80 that the east and west lanes are separated by several hundred feet and the center is somewhat wooded. It was near dusk and a deer was running rapidly between the two lanes and began to come directly toward my auto until it was within about 300 or 400 feet of my auto and suddenly it turned abruptly toward the other lanes. I am of the opinion the Hornet Deer Whistle I was running at the time prevented a deer hit.
About 8 years ago, I was traveling through a small Iowa municipality around 3:00 PM. There was significant traffic and two deer approached the roadway near the opposite side of a 4 lane highway. I was not too close but switched my lights on (my Hornet was wired through my lights). Both deer immediately stopped in their tracks and looked across two lanes of traffic directly at my auto and turned and proceeded down the hill away for the roadway. I have been a believer ever since.
