Deer whistles don't work. They've been around for quite a while, but even Europe has realized they don't work and you'll rarely see them there.
Your best bet is to slow down during the rutting season and pay strict attention to what's going on at the side of the road.
Many years ago when I managed a network for an LTL carrier there were a number of tractors that had deer whistles on them. As a percentage they were involved in deer strikes just as frequently as tractors without deer whistles (yes, the shop manager asked me to track and compile the numbers one season).
