Yes mate ,

A old fella who lives few doors away told me he see few fallow in same spot few days ago and when he walking back they was only 2 so I'm thinking it was the fawn and it's mam.

By look of the wound it had been in it for a good while , hopefully she make it .

It's wrong mate ,if you set snares you should check them daily ,When I was a kid I'd go with me grandad and help him set wires for rabbits and hares but he'd check them early morning and again before dark and I remember he snared few foxes and those still alive was freed to run on and in his words "take there chance with the hounds "

Snares are a good tool in the right hands but if you don't check them daily you have no right dropping them in first place .
