The pilot observed deer midfield on the runway during final approach to runway 17 and initiated a go around. On his second approach the pilot's focus of attention was on the deer to make sure they weren't moving to the runway center. The deer stayed clear but the distraction put the pilot too far down field to allow a safe go around. Committed to the landing, the pilot applied the brakes immediately on touch down but "grass skid" was a problem. The aircraft went past the end of the runway impacting two small trees resulting in substantial damage to the aircraft.
Probable Cause: The pilot did not attain the proper touchdown point during landing. The pilot's diverted attention, deer near the runway, and trees were factors.
