I struck my first deer back in Sept, it was a solid hit but nothing really happened to the EX except the bumper got pushed up alittle and that broke the bottom 2 brackets of the right side headlight... Adjusted the bumper and replaced the headlights with projectors ( Projectors and HIDs are the BEST).

Friend hit a buck with his Sable, broke the Tie rod or stearing box and lost the ability to control the vehicle. Wasn't pretty. The Ex is a lot bigger, but I wonder if anyone else has heard of this happening? I have deer horns on mine...

the whistles typically produce a signal either at a frequency of 3 kilohertz (kHz) or 12 kHz. Both, as it turns out, are problematic.
The hearing range of white-tailed deer, the most common species in the United States, is between 2 kHz and 6 kHz, so the animal is not capable of hearing the 12 kHz signal.
Although deer may be able to hear the 3 kHz signal, it is only 3 decibels louder than the road noise created by the car, so the signal is buried.

You're not talking about those little stick-on deer wistles are you? If so, you wasted your money. Proven not to work. The whistles typically produce a signal either at a frequency of 3 kilohertz (kHz) or 12 kHz. Both, as it turns out, are problematic.

Glad you came out of it ok. My wife hit not one, but two deer at once back in February, killed em' both. The X was fine, tweaked the bumper a little and broke the license plate mount off, had to get it from the ditch after I got back in town. No other damage....gotta love it!!!
