THE PLT STATED THAT BEFORE TAKEOFF HE DID NOT SEE ANYTHING ON THE RWY. THE LANDING AND TAXI LIGHTS ON THE ACFT WERE ON FOR THE TAKEOFF. DURING THE TAKEOFF ROLL WHEN THE ACFT WAS ALMOST AT TAKEOFF SPEED THE PLT HEARD A LOUD BANG FOLLOWEDBY THE ACFT YAWING TO THE RIGHT. THE TAKEOFF WAS ABORTED AND AFTERWARDS THE PLT SAW THAT THE RIGHT WING WAS DAMAGED. HE WAS UNAWARE AS TO WHAT HE HAD HIT UNTIL LATER WHEN HE SAW A DEER LYING ON THE RWY.
