I haven't tried them, but I know bright lights, exhaust, and a bov don't do you any good. I hit one last year, was only driving about 40- but never saw it. By the time I realized I had hit something, the airbags were deflating. We live out in the middle of nowhere, so we always drive really slow on the backroads at night, but this deer was in full stride and we litterally hit eachother at the same moment. It was a 12 point- did almost 9 grand in damage to the car. :(
Thought I had some pics but can't find any right now. Since I started driving 12 years ago, I have hit 5 deer, and I only saw 1 before I hit it. One ran into the side of my car after the headlights passed by it. I will tell you- State Farm is VERY understanding about collisions with deer. LOL.

Lol yeah I killed the deer- I hit his side, broke his rib, and stabbed it through his heart. He dropped instantly. He was a 12 point- weighed a lot but I can't remember how much.

I forgot the pics again. They are on home computer and I am at work, but Mazdaspeed parts apparently aren't cheap, especially when the owner is demanding OEM parts, and not knock-offs. A hood, front bumper, headlight, fog light, radiator support, 2 airbags, some sensors, new seatbelts, door skins, a fender, and uh... yeah I think that's it. Oh and a new emblem. About fifteen bucks shy of 9 grand. Ouch. :(
