Narrative:

Flight was in the final phase of landing rollout, decelerating through about 50 KTS. 3 deer on the runway, 1 to the left, 1 in the center, and 1 off to the right. First officer shouted out 'deer.' I noted deer in center of runway moving toward right as I proceeded to go into maximum reverse and apply maximum braking. I could not steer aircraft either right or left of centerline, due to deer both sides of runway. DOE off to the left started to move to left, then seemed to hesitate, then ran to right as we were just about to pass her. The deer then went under nose of aircraft. Next we heard a loud thud as deer hit right propeller and exploded. Propeller then started to vibrate as it decelerated and I quickly, realizing that it was the right propeller, shut down that engine. Engine slowly wound down, and with no other complications, I waited on the runway for the county to tow us back to the terminal, due to the fact that I could not turn aircraft around on the runway with 1 engine, and the aircraft loaded with 19 passenger and all their bags. We noted about 8-9 deer that night in the immediate area of runway 10/28, 3/21 between XA30 and XD00 am after inspecting the aircraft damage and cleaning the runway. Most of the deer were at the perimeter of the woods, 2 deer were between the grass clearing, runway 10/28 and the terminal. Aircraft damage: right propeller completely ripped apart. Wing leading edge (root), fuselage flow fence broken at its trailing edge, hole (size of your fist) in lower fuselage at same location.

Title: AN ACR LTT HIT A DEER ON LNDG ROLLOUT.

Narrative: FLT WAS IN THE FINAL PHASE OF LNDG ROLLOUT, DECELERATING THROUGH ABOUT 50 KTS. 3 DEER ON THE RWY, 1 TO THE L, 1 IN THE CTR, AND 1 OFF TO THE R. FO SHOUTED OUT 'DEER.' I NOTED DEER IN CTR OF RWY MOVING TOWARD R AS I PROCEEDED TO GO INTO MAX REVERSE AND APPLY MAX BRAKING. I COULD NOT STEER ACFT EITHER R OR L OF CTRLINE, DUE TO DEER BOTH SIDES OF RWY. DOE OFF TO THE L STARTED TO MOVE TO L, THEN SEEMED TO HESITATE, THEN RAN TO R AS WE WERE JUST ABOUT TO PASS HER. THE DEER THEN WENT UNDER NOSE OF ACFT. NEXT WE HEARD A LOUD THUD AS DEER HIT R PROP AND EXPLODED. PROP THEN STARTED TO VIBRATE AS IT DECELERATED AND I QUICKLY, REALIZING THAT IT WAS THE R PROP, SHUT DOWN THAT ENG. ENG SLOWLY WOUND DOWN, AND WITH NO OTHER COMPLICATIONS, I WAITED ON THE RWY FOR THE COUNTY TO TOW US BACK TO THE TERMINAL, DUE TO THE FACT THAT I COULD NOT TURN ACFT AROUND ON THE RWY WITH 1 ENG, AND THE ACFT LOADED WITH 19 PAX AND ALL THEIR BAGS. WE NOTED ABOUT 8-9 DEER THAT NIGHT IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA OF RWY 10/28, 3/21 BTWN XA30 AND XD00 AM AFTER INSPECTING THE ACFT DAMAGE AND CLEANING THE RWY. MOST OF THE DEER WERE AT THE PERIMETER OF THE WOODS, 2 DEER WERE BTWN THE GRASS CLEARING, RWY 10/28 AND THE TERMINAL. ACFT DAMAGE: R PROP COMPLETELY RIPPED APART. WING LEADING EDGE (ROOT), FUSELAGE FLOW FENCE BROKEN AT ITS TRAILING EDGE, HOLE (SIZE OF YOUR FIST) IN LOWER FUSELAGE AT SAME LOCATION.
