The 375-hour private pilot reported that it was still dark outside when he made a visual approach to the runway. As he leveled the airplane to land, he saw three deer crossing the runway directly in front of him and elected to go-around. During the go-around, the left main wheel struck one of the deer. The pilot elected to abort the go-around and landed on the remaining runway and taxied to the ramp. The deer was killed and was found laying on the middle of the runway.
Probable Cause: The airplane's collision with a deer during a go-around. A contributing factor was the prevailing night condition.
