I have always had them fitted and 'Lion' brand is my preferred brand... in my opinion they work... I have had herds of Cows and Birds scatter when I approach and Roos sit up and watch me go past or move off the road... Even driving up to Cloncurry 3 times and lots of night driving each trip, We have never hit one...
Big 'Reds' seem to be the ones least affected by the whistle I found and I always slowed down if we saw one anyway... Just in case...
I knew a milk tanker contractor (Casino area) who had 3 tankers and different drivers, He had 1 fitted with the whistles(lion brand) and 1 fitted with an electronic Shoo Roo... The 3rd had nothing... He swapped the Trucks around on different routes and over 2yrs, the one with nothing hit the most roos, and the one with the Shoo Roo hit nothing in 2yrs... The whistle one hit 2 in the 2 years and he says both times a car went past just before he did and startled the roos... He won me over with them...
So for $10 as far as We are concerned they Work... QLD UNI did a series of tests around the mid 90's and says they ALL Don't Work...
I have never seen a 4 legged Wombat on the road, but if I did, I would never try to hit it, Ken and twice...
layful: :lol:
Plenty of 2 legged ones driving on the roads tho... :lol:
Ouch, they would really hurt tho... Solid buggars... Much Damage?
And No I don't work for LION Consolidated either..... :koala:
