Urgh. You can find plenty of anecdotal evidence for either side, but I 
prefer to look towards scientific studies for more reliable answers. You 
may want to look at <http://www.tfb.com/sdmc/deer-whistle.html>, or 
<http://www.ibmwr.org/prodreview/deerwsle.html> (somewhat redundant), or 
<http://www.usroads.com/journals/rmj/9705/rm970503.htm> (cites both the 
Georgia Game and Fish and the Ohio State Police), or 
<http://martin.ces.state.nc.us/newsletters/newsarticles/twigs/deerwhistles.html> 
(indirectly cites several other studies), or 
<http://www.exnet.iastate.edu/Publications/PM1302G.pdf>.

Sorry none of these are the direct sources...
