Narrative:
At approximately 80 KTS we noticed deer running in front of the aircraft during night landing. This was when controls were xferred via normal 80 KTS xfer and coincidently the same time the deer was seen and I applied reverse and braking to slow the aircraft in case of collision with deer. No evasive directional control was used. Deer missed the aircraft and ran off. Reported deer to FSS radio (airport advisory on field after tower closes) and advised landing aircraft behind us of encounter. Thorough postflt inspection done with no evidence of aircraft or tire damage.

THIS WAS WHEN CTLS WERE XFERRED VIA NORMAL 80 KTS XFER AND COINCIDENTLY THE SAME TIME THE DEER WAS SEEN AND I APPLIED REVERSE AND BRAKING TO SLOW THE ACFT IN CASE OF COLLISION WITH DEER. NO EVASIVE DIRECTIONAL CTL WAS USED. DEER MISSED THE ACFT AND RAN OFF. RPTED DEER TO FSS RADIO (ARPT ADVISORY ON FIELD AFTER TWR CLOSES) AND ADVISED LNDG ACFT BEHIND US OF ENCOUNTER.
