Narrative:

We were cleared for takeoff on orh on runway 29 at approximately AM50. This was the first officer's leg. Shortly after the takeoff roll was started, at about 80 KTS, the tower advised us that there were deer on the field. I just noticed a deer on the grassy area to the right of the runway. It started towards the runway and eventually did cross the runway. I initiated the rejected takeoff at about 95-100 KTS. During the stop, the tires locked up and were flat. When we came to a stop, the first officer and I both looked out of our windows and noticed that there was smoke from the main landing gear area. Although there were no flames, I instructed the first officer to assist the flight attendants to perform passenger evacuate/evacuation from the galley door exit only. The evacuate/evacuation was orderly and rapid. There were no injuries reported. Supplemental information from acn 221276: about 80 KTS the captain and I spotted a large deer on the north side of our runway in the grass. The deer started to cross the runway in front of us, and the captain rejected the takeoff. The anti-skid did not seem to function properly during the entire stop which resulted in 4 main tires going flat. The tower advised us of smoke coming from our main gears. The captain commanded an evacuate/evacuation out of the galley exit. I assisted the passenger at the base of the slide, and grouped them together forward and north of the aircraft. There were no reported injuries of passenger or crew and no damage to the aircraft other than the tires.

SHORTLY AFTER THE TKOF ROLL WAS STARTED, AT ABOUT 80 KTS, THE TWR ADVISED US THAT THERE WERE DEER ON THE FIELD. I JUST NOTICED A DEER ON THE GRASSY AREA TO THE R OF THE RWY. IT STARTED TOWARDS THE RWY AND EVENTUALLY DID CROSS THE RWY. I INITIATED THE REJECTED TKOF AT ABOUT 95-100 KTS. DURING THE STOP, THE TIRES LOCKED UP AND WERE FLAT. WHEN WE CAME TO A STOP, THE FO AND I BOTH LOOKED OUT OF OUR WINDOWS AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS SMOKE FROM THE MAIN LNDG GEAR AREA.
