Darwins theory at work

That sucks. I can't tell you how many dead deer I pass everyday on the way to work. Regardless, when one slammed into my car on a dead run I was sad. (f'd the side of my car too.)

Evolution works over a long period of time. Not quick enough for all the dumbass deer. I swear they are drawn to the traffic.

I hate that too. On one hand I am saddened by the death, but on the other, am disappointed that all that meat is going to waste.

Speaking of which, lots of the hillbillies here have those little bullet-looking things mounted to their bumpers. I presume they are simply whistles activated by the airflow of a moving vehicle, and are meant to scare away would-be roadkill. Do these actually work? Or is it just another hillbilly affectation to go along with their old rusty pickup with the gunrack?

[_paralyzed_]

they're sold in MN as deer alerts. They're supposed to scare deers away. They have a very narrow output zone, and are rarely aimed right, so even if they do work they won't work.

I had some on my '86 LTD crown victoria signature series lx. I used them as elephant alerts, and for as long as I owned that car I never hit an elephant. They work great!
