Steve: I read somewhere that the California Highway Patrol did a study on
these gizmo's. After two years of use, their deer strikes were down some
major percentage. It's been too many years since I read the article and
can't remember the exact figure, but it was  substantial (I wanna say
greater than 50%). So I figured, they were small enough to be unnoticed,
can't hurt the fuel mileage that much, and if it help keep the deer away
from my front, all the better. I'll try to find the source of my vague
memory in the next few days...

Anybody tried those whistler-type anti-deer devices that go on your front
bumper?  Once you get beyond a certain speed there's supposedly a
high-pitched whistling sound that scares deer away.

Truth or (sub-)Urban myth?
