Accident Details
A flight instructor (CFI) was demonstrating a soft field takeoff to a student pilot. Shortly after the airplane became airborne, two deer-sized animals appeared on the runway directly ahead. The CFI aborted the takeoff and steered the airplane to the right in an attempt to avoid the animals.
Due to poor braking action on the rough, moist turf runway, the airplane continued to slide to the right and collided with an old tire that was used to mark the side of the runway.
