Narrative:

Just after liftoff the left main gear struck a deer. We had normal gear retraction, no vibrations, and normal flight characteristics. The right hydraulic quantity showed a slight decrease so we shut down the right system pumps. Continued to st louis lambert and requested emergency equipment and continued with normal landing and no further assistance needed. On arrival we inspected and found the right hydraulic line to the left brakes and the scissors strut damaged.
