The pilot reported that during the flare for landing, a deer ran towards the airplane from his left side. He tried to raise the left wing to clear the deer. The left main landing gear hit the deer and the gear separated from the wing. The airplane subsequently skidded to a stop. The spar that the landing gear separated from sustained substantial damage.
