Deer Collision Avoidance ("Deer Created or Saved?")
Has anyone tried those little deer warning whistles that you tape or glue on?
Seems like a waste of time and money to me (how could you ever know that they worked?--I guess you could count the number of "deers created or saved" if you were in the gov't I guess) but I thought I'd ask in case someone has some hard evidence or information on those things.
If they actually work, it would be worth finding a hidden place to glue them on, but I'm skeptical.
Here's a site that sells them, they have "studies" and "90%" effective, but it's the internet, so who knows what the truth is (one of the studies misspells "manner" as "manor")
