ON FINAL APCH TO LAND, THE PLT SAW 2 BUZZARDS & ADDED POWER WHILE MANEUVERING TO AVOID THEEM, THEN CONTINUED THE APCH. THIS RESULTED IN LANDING BEYOND THE INTENDED TOUCHDOWN POINT. THE MIDDLE OF THE RWY WAS HIGHER THAN EITHER END; THEREFORE, THE PLT WAS UNABLE TO SEE A LARGE CANINE THAT WAS MOVING TOWARD THE LANDING AREA UNTIL THE ACFT WAS ABOUT HALFWAY DOWN THE RWY. A GO-AROUND WAS INITIATED, BUT AS THE GEAR WAS RETRACTED, THE WHEELS CONTACTED TREETOPS NEAR THE END OF THE RWY. THE ACFT SUBSEQUENTLY CAME TO REST IN A MILO FIELD ABOUT 250 YDS FROM THE INITIAL TREE IMPACT AFTER FLYING THRU ADDITIONAL TREES.
