Air Taxi Captain departing at night after the Tower closed reported a near miss with a deer crossing the runway.

Narrative

Aircraft X had a near miss with a deer running across ZZZ Runway XX during takeoff roll just prior to rotation. PIC (Pilot in Command)/PF (Pilot Flying) assessed that rotation would be safer than aborting takeoff based on assessed geometry and movement of the deer. Rotation; climbout; and remainder of the flight were uneventful. Aircraft X reported deer on CTAF prior to switching frequencies. Contributing factors were ZZZ closed Tower operations reduced real time wildlife monitoring. Night reduced visual acquisition of deer until approx 150 to 200 ft (1 runway stripe) in front of aircraft. Aircraft X failure to see or scare away deer during taxi using PC12 Taxi and Recog Lights. Aircraft X decision to use Taxiway A to Runway XX instead of conducting a wildlife sweep via runway backtaxi. Corrective Actions: Aircraft X continue to use X profile for airfields where wildlife threat is present. Aircraft X consider wildlife sweep backtaxi for all night departures from uncontrolled fields in addition to other low visibility conditions. Aircraft X consider using PC12 Landing Lights for additional illumination when sweeping for wildlife at uncontrolled fields.
