RE: Deer Whistles
Longer answer, yes. Well, maybe. OK, I think so?
I log about 25,000 to 35,000 miles per year at work. A lot of secondary roads with lots of deer, particularly at night or early morning hours. I have faithfully installed 'deer alerts' for many years. The one time I hit a deer was primetime late evening hours on a secondary road at about 60 mph - and no 'deer alerts'.
Coincidence? I think not. When I see deer, they are as a general rule fixated on my approach. I see them, they see me, they stay still, I drive by ... and all is well. Maybe some are spooked by the 'whistle', but IMHO far more are 'alerted'.
Problem... I do not think the Mark VIII has any viable mounting areas available for the 'deer alerts'. Proper mounting is a must, but usually on a pickup, that is no problem.
