How to Buy a Quality Deer Warning Whistle
While you might think that other drivers and roadblocks pose the greatest threat to your safety and the safety of your passengers, the fact remains that wildlife also needs to be considered. Deer are perhaps the most restless animals - even a relatively small deer can completely crash your car in an accident. Moreover, they can be found almost everywhere, and not only in rural areas. A deer whistle might give you some extra protection.
When shopping for a quality deer warning whistle, you should consider several different factors, including the number of whistles sold in a package, whistle design, power output, and more. When looking for a deer warning whistle, consider the following:
Number of whistles: Never buy just one deer signal whistle. There should be at least two, and even better four. The more whistles that are turned on, the more sound is created, which increases the chance that the deer will hear the sound and stop before they get out in front of your car.
Sound production speed: Deer warning whistles work when air passes through the whistle. Obviously your car has to be moving for this to happen. Some whistles only work optimally at high speeds. Choose a model that starts at 35 mph for the best protection in all driving situations.
Range: How far does the whistle sound? It is clear that the further, the better. Choose a model with a range of at least a quarter mile.
Size: Reindeer whistles come in different sizes, and they all mount on the outside of the car. Think about how much space your front bumper has and then choose the right whistle.
Removable: Like the windshield and grille, deer whistles are susceptible to dirt, dust, pollen and insects. Choose a model that can be easily detached from the mount so you can clean them.
Reindeer whistles provide an extra layer of protection, but you should always be alert to the threat of wild animals, even if they are installed.
