## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

THE HOUSTON FSDO RECEIVED A CALL REPORTING AN AIRCRAFT INCIDENT FROM THE OWNER. ON FEB 24, 2011 A HERD OF ABOUT 15 DEER CROSSED THE PATH OF THE AFOREMENTIONED AIRCRAFT DURING IT'S LANDING ROLLOUT/TAXI. TWO OF THE DEER COLLIDED WITH THE PROPELLER, ENGINE COWLING, AND L/H WING ROOT. THE AIRCRAFT REMAINED RUNNING DESPITE THE COLLISION, SO THE PIC TAXIED THE AIRCRAFT TO A TIEDOWN SPOT AND SECURED THE AIRCRAFT.
