Narrative:
Just prior to or at V1 a bird hit our number 2 engine. There was a loud bang and a very rough sounding engine. I immediately said; 'abort; abort; abort;' used both thrust reversers and max braking. We stopped well prior to the end of the runway and taxied clear. The number 2 engine was running very rough and I suspected engine damage. I shut down the engine using a normal engine shutdown. I turned on the hydraulic pumps so we would have both inboard and outboard brakes. We taxied without further incident to the remote terminal.taxiing away from the runway; I was checking to make sure the airplane was operating normally; that the engine and brakes were not on fire; and making sure the crew and passengers were ok. Also; we were determining if there was a gate available and where we were going to park. The highest brake heat indicators were 8 and 7 on both outboards. A lot of distractions were going on.my personal error was that once I suspected engine damage I should have referenced the QRH for the appropriate checklist. There is no bird strike QRH procedure; but I should have run the QRH for suspected engine damage.
