Hopkins Electronic Deer Alert
« on: October 09, 2012, 10:58:05 PM »
Had asked for some info on this device earlier with no response. Does anyone know anything about
this thing? Has anyone tried it? It sounds like it would really work. The downside is you ride around with this VERY loud screaming sound coming from your scoot and that would not be conducive to a peacefull ride in the country. For obvious reasons I'm looking for something that works but can be tolerated by human ears. Thanks,
Mike

Thanks Racewalker
Keep me informed and when you get it let me know how it works. My XC500 is in the shop now
being repaired related to running into a deer at night. So I really don't want to go through that
experience again. Thanks,
Mike

I have the regular deer alert you see at the auto store.
They work great as you drive the wind flows through them
and makes them whistle. I ride on some back roads with lots
Of deer as I round the corners I see them running off. I also
Have them on my cars.

Streido!
Thanks for the idea. For some reason the North American White Tale is mesmerized by bright lights.
Auto, motorbike, or hand held high beam lights used by the poachers around here at night. It is the same when we hunt roos in Australia. Once they catch the bright beam of light in their eyes they freeze. There is a lot of deer road kill because of this. Instead of running away they become statues and won't move. That's why it is so illegal at night to hunt. Because there is no sport involve. It does not require any skill to shoot a completely stationary target, and then one that will not run away at that. However, I think those lights you suggested would be a great safety addition
because of the added visual capability they provide at night. If my XC500 ever gets out of the shop I'm going to buy them, so thanks. I love the history of your country. What a heritage from Rob Roy
to present day. One of the greatest crimes of humanity was when Mary Queen Scots was murdered
and the throne was stolen from her. Well, I digress. Thanks for the info on the lights.
