I have whistles mounted on my bumpers.  I commute Highway 9 daily and 
encounter many deer.  The whistles don't seem to make any difference in my 
experience.  The deer alongside the highway still react as if I didn't have 
any whistles. 

 I have been told by someone that people in Canada mount the whistle high on 
the hood or the cab to get the air flowing through them which is 
intended to be better than mounting on the bumper.

If you still want to spend your money, I purchased them at Sport Mart in 
Sunnyvale near the gun department.
