Human Factors
After making a low approach; I set the aircraft up for landing on a private paved.  After touching down; I was scanning the area for wildlife and did not realize that while distracted I had departed the runway.  I quickly attempted to regain control of the aircraft and return it to the airplane but not before the nose gear hit uneven terrain resulting in a propeller strike.  Other than the aircraft; there was no damage to any other property.
