Re: [ST] Deer whistles



One thing I have heard about deer is that they target fixate on headlights
and this one of the reasons they just stand there and look at you.  What I
have heard is the best course of action, besides constantly using SIPDE is
to flash your lights and honk your horn to give them other distractions
instead of staring at a constant beam of light.
