I have had several near misses with deer.  Perhaps it is my sainted 
mother looking over me.  We have had them on our cars and trucks for 
over 10 years.  Our neighbors travel the same routes as we do and have 
had several collisions with deer.   It could be coincidence, but for 
less than $10 I will continue to use them.  I returned late last night 
from a 350 mile trip in Deer country in SE Oklahoma without seeing any 
deer.  YMMV.
