Default Oh deer!

Sent to me by a co-worker...

I wonder if this would satisfy the "Earn-A-Buck" requirements?

That was lucky! He must have been going slow when he hit it. I've seen birds do more (visible) damage.

Looking at the deer, it appears the prop may be over pitched a bit.

Probably didn't have to track it very far...

Looks like the gear leg fairing took some damage. Is leading edge / fuel tank okay?

Are there any pirep details about the incident? Take-off? Landing? Organized drive?

It might have been better to put the deer at the controls, and hand-prop it himself...

It looks as if the pilot is cleaning out the seat.
