Narrative:
After setting takeoff power (first officer), 70 KIAS call made. Approximately 2-3 seconds after, at approximately 90 KIAS, I was looking at instruments to determine and call 'rotate.' first officer stated 'something on, or deer on runway.' first officer swerved to the left to try to miss the deer. I called 'abort, my airplane,' unfortunately, right after we felt and heard something hit right side of aircraft. We completed the rejected takeoff procedure, came to a stop and were able to clear the runway under our own power. After exiting runway, we checked engine instruments and found no abnormalities or vibrations, so taxied in on our own power. First officer contacted ZSE and told controller of the abort. He also informed the passenger of what happened. We deplaned the passenger through normal exit at the gate. We then inspected aircraft and noted deer impact to the right landing gear including some hydraulic fluid on ground and problems with gear hydraulic lines.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: A LIGHT TRANSPORT TURBOPROP ON TKOF ROLL AT 70 KTS STRUCK A DEER AND REJECTED THE TKOF. INCURRED R MAIN GEAR DAMAGE.
Narrative: AFTER SETTING TKOF PWR (FO), 70 KIAS CALL MADE. APPROX 2-3 SECONDS AFTER, AT APPROX 90 KIAS, I WAS LOOKING AT INSTS TO DETERMINE AND CALL 'ROTATE.' FO STATED 'SOMETHING ON, OR DEER ON RWY.' FO SWERVED TO THE L TO TRY TO MISS THE DEER. I CALLED 'ABORT, MY AIRPLANE,' UNFORTUNATELY, RIGHT AFTER WE FELT AND HEARD SOMETHING HIT R SIDE OF ACFT. WE COMPLETED THE REJECTED TKOF PROC, CAME TO A STOP AND WERE ABLE TO CLR THE RWY UNDER OUR OWN PWR. AFTER EXITING RWY, WE CHKED ENG INSTS AND FOUND NO ABNORMALITIES OR VIBRATIONS, SO TAXIED IN ON OUR OWN PWR. FO CONTACTED ZSE AND TOLD CTLR OF THE ABORT. HE ALSO INFORMED THE PAX OF WHAT HAPPENED. WE DEPLANED THE PAX THROUGH NORMAL EXIT AT THE GATE. WE THEN INSPECTED ACFT AND NOTED DEER IMPACT TO THE R LNDG GEAR INCLUDING SOME HYD FLUID ON GND AND PROBS WITH GEAR HYD LINES.
