A quick word on deer whistles



I can't recall the source, but some magazine tested deer whistles a few 
years ago and reported that none of them emitted any sound at more than like 
20mph.  That kinda defeats the purpose of them, I think.  Sorry I can't back 
it up better, but that's what I recall.
