A quick word on deer whistles



I believe your recall is faulty. Better check that!

They don't make any sound UNDER 30 MPH.

I live in deer country and use them. I don't know if they work. I also don't
know that they don't. I'm willing to take the chance that they do as long as
I can hide them well enough. Rolling Roc has them on the under side of the
control arms. They can't be seen. Of course they might not work there
either.
