As to your question, I used them"after the fact" when I hit a deer with my old '79 Breadloaf and never had another encounter. I found a pair of deeer whistles in the bottom of an auction flat a few years ago where the PO had mounted the whistles on magnetic mounts. Must've been some time ago since there aren't many metal bumpers out there these days..... DM&FS |
