    Looks like a deer whistle, added by a previous owner most likely.

    Usually there are two to create a high pitch whistle to alert deer. Now whether or not they work, unsure as I guarantee there are guys with them who have smacked deers, they aren’t the brightest creatures

    they dont work... placebo effect at best. I was an insurance adjuster in a previous life ;) and I would see these on autos that hit deer on a regular basis. I would tell the owner, "I see you have deer whistles installed on your auto, did you know you installed them backwards, and actually called the deer to you? the amount of people who thought I was serious, was alarming. we are doomed as a society. Ski
