Second one definitely. Ears look wrong on first
Yep. That's key, the ears are as long as the head and look narrow. CWD ears are shorter and broader and give the animal a "teddy-bear" face. If you look closely at the muzzle, partly behind the vegetation, the colour pattern at the tip is Roe Deer, which is what the animal is.

The second photo is a very obvious CWD. Nice.

That was my suspicion. Thanks for the detailed reply.
