a deer whistle is a small squat piece of plastic that looks like a bullet..it sits on a base that has sticky shit on it you peel back the lining to expose the contact and stick in your front guard. the air rushing through it causes a shrill noise that scares wildlife outa your path. They work well. Truck drivers use them alot. The work for kangaroos too.
Saw plenty of deer last time over in 2010, luckily i saw them before they found me. Funniest thing was when I came around a bend and saw an armadillo...I didn't know what it was so i stopped and had checked him right out...imagine a 4 legged armoured atc....all terrain critter....
Might respectfully disagree w/ you on the effectiveness of deer whistles, but what the hey, they are cheap and might work, certainly will do no harm
If you arn't scared enough this might add to the paronia

I have nightmares about hittin' a freakin' armadillo. That's just a little more than a "speedbump"! 'Specially at night!
