JHugz may take you out on a date for a comment like that hahaha:rotfl:
Aim for the dear, that way I'll miss it. And if I do hit it, at least my family will have something to eat for a few weeks.:crazy:
It depends on where the dear is (distance down the runway), CIG's/etc don't matter otherwise. I'd go missed if I wasn't able to land (i.e. circle back around etc.). Safety is paramount. If I were low on fuel, and didn't have a choice but to land, well, sorry mr./ms. dear, but I am gonna try and hit you with a part of the plane that will a) take the hit well, and plow through you or b) hit you with a part of the plane that you will go right through, and not affect the stuff inside too much. Anyone ever seen the video of a tigermoth hitting a cow?

A dear would be no sweat

I don't think I've ever seen someone misspell "deer" so much in my life. Unless, of course, you're talking about your wife/girlfriend. In that case, carry on.

You're on to me....
Whoops. You just tossed a motor on the miss below/beyond the MAP at ASE.
Have fun with that.

flat terrain- missed. aspen- kill the deer.
i've hit a deer before in a navajo, it wasn't as much fun as it seems.

So would we fly the published missed approach or the obstacle departure procedure? And why or why not?
Do you routinely brief the ODP in addition to the approach?
Yeah. Don't you? You're dangerous!
The nice thing about ASE is the high mins. You could, if vis was good enough for you to see the rocks, do 360s giving tower time to shoo Bambi away. Failing that...deer kebobs for all!

Beyond the MAP (and below MDA), I would consider it a "rejected landing," not a missed approach. Therefore, should we have any special departure procedures/single-engine departure procedures, I would follow that. In our briefings for an approach, we do brief the special departure procedure.
If there was no special departure procedure, I would climb to MDA, then initiate the missed approach procedure, as appropriate.
I'll add to the complexity of this situation, however. What would you do if your missed approach point was a VOR located at midfield, and you were rejecting the landing for a deer on the runway?
Let's say there isn't a deer on the runway. Instead, it's a contaminated (7000 x 100 ft) runway with 1/2 inch of wet snow, braking action reported fair to poor by a vehicle. You float 3500 feet down the runway, and you elect to go-around (at least I hope so!). Do you fly the missed approach procedure? If so, when do you commence it?
