THE PILOT REPORTED THAT DEER CROSSED IN FRONT OF THE AIRCRAFT, LATE IN THE TAKEOFF ROLL, AND THE PILOT BALLOONED THE AIRCRAFT TO AVOID A COLLISION. THIS MANEUVER PREVENTED PROPER CLIMB SPEED FROM BEING ATTAINED AND THE PILOT STATED THAT HE WAS JUST ABLE TO CLEAR A FENCE AND TREE AT THE DEPARTURE END OF THE AIRSTRIP. HE ELECTED TO EXECUTE A PRECAUTIONARY LANDING INTO UNSUITABLE TERRAIN TO AVOID AN INFLIGHT COLLISION WITH TREES FURTHER DOWN HIS FLIGHTPATH.
