My stacks have saved me from eating a dear or two coming from the folks house. I usually run out of OD down through the flat section to keep the RPMS up so they will hear me. Been a few times I've seen them running off of the road before I got there.

That just means I would have to clean the dang thing then. Not a big hunter anyway and already ate one dear in another truck.

I think so for sure. I ride motorcycles almost every day that the weather cooperates. I know that people hear my bikes. I can see their reactions when I get close usually. It at least hopefully makes them aware that I am there. Hopefully they will look twice before pulling out or cutting me off.

Same goes for my truck, but if someone cannot see my truck then they are blind as a bat. It's hard to miss my quad cab, long bed, 4x4, 3" lifted, 37" tire running, Ranch Handed, straight piped rig running down the road.

I see many heads turn when I step on the loud pedal. I think so. My kids move quick when they hear my truck...
