And we also know that at least to of the electronic-type animal alerts work, at least after a fashion. </span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Roboto'">However, I must point out that that though these units elicited a response from the deer tested, remember what our animal behavior experts warned us about the varying responses we might expect due to the animal’s age, sex, time of year, etc. </span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Roboto'">We can’t rule out the possibility that one of these units, if used in the presence of a buck during the mating season, might elicit the same kind of “flight,”rather than the desired “flight,” response. And I think we can all agree, as motorcyclists, that could be a very bad thing.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Roboto'">In the end, the best advice is that which we’ve heard for years: When in an area known to be frequented by deer, slow down, and be alert. Scan the roadsides carefully, and if possible, avoid riding through such areas and dawn or dusk, when the deer are much more likely to be out grazing. And if you do see a deer, or even just a flicker of movement somewhere in your peripheral vision, flash your lights and honk your horn. Even the people who make and sell the electronic alert systems admit that your vehicle horn is likely to be more effective than their deer alerts.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: 'Roboto'">Of all the units tested, the Hornet was the most effective, but even that isn’t saying much.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"></span></p></blockquote><p></p>
