Narrative:
On takeoff roll through approximately 90 KTS, deer (approximately 6-8) bolted across the runway from left to right from high weeds and a downslope on the left runway side. We immediately aborted takeoff, but hit approximately 3 of the deer. It destroyed all 4 propeller blades on #2 engine and we got a 'master warning -- oil pressure low' annunciator, so we shut down #2 engine as per 'memory items' on emergency checklist. Passenger were evacuate/evacuationed safely with no injuries thus far. Captain (PF) did an excellent job.
