The 8,521-hour commercial pilot reported that he departed on Runway 22, and just after lift off, the aircraft impacted a deer with the right main landing gear. According to the pilot, "deer routinely cross the runway at this spot." Once airborne, the pilot reported some control difficulty and elected to return to the airport. The pilot circled the airport for approximately one hour to burn fuel. Due to the prevailing crosswind, the pilot elected to land at another airport. During the landing roll out, the right gear collapsed. An examination of the aircraft by the FAA inspector revealed the landing gear showed no indication of having collided with an object or animal on the runway.
Probable Cause: The collapsing of the right main landing gear during the landing roll out as a result of impacting an animal on the runway during takeoff.
