The airplane contacted a deer during landing. The pilot reported that he kept the nose wheel off the runway as long as possible after touchdown. As the nose was descending, he saw a deer on the runway approximately 50 to 60 feet in front of the airplane. He veered the airplane to the right to avoid hitting the deer with the propeller and the nose of the airplane. The deer panicked and ran back toward the airplane. The wing passed over the top of the deer; however, the deer contacted the left horizontal stabilizer. The pilot reported the light conditions were bright night and light snow was falling which reduced his ability to see the deer on the runway.
Probable Cause: the deer that traveled onto the runway and contacted the airplane. Factors associated with the accident were the night light conditions and the light snow that was falling.
