Narrative
The pilot reported that before landing, he flew over the turf airstrip and checked the windsock, which indicated "little to no wind." However, while on short final, he realized he was landing with a tailwind. At that point, he was beyond the point to safely abort the landing. During the approach, several deer emerged from nearby trees and entered the runway. The pilot added power to avoid the animals but continued the landing.
Upon touchdown, the pilot applied heavy braking to prevent the airplane from overrunning the runway. The airplane subsequently nosed over and came to rest inverted. The pilot reported that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.
Damage
The accident resulted in substantial damage to the vertical stabilizer, the rudder, and the top of both wings.
Pilot Report
The pilot stated no mechanical issues with the aircraft prior to the accident. He attributed the event to his late recognition of a tailwind condition and the need to avoid deer on the runway.
