None of the above. I've got several bucks on game camera that I have seen, never harvested. I have taken a buck a buddy had on game camera and one that a friend took so there are several scenerios without one good answer.

I don't put trail cameras out where I hunt. I just stick them behind the house to try and get pictures of deer.

I have killed one deer I got on camera. The quest this year is for the bear we got on camera. Genuine monster, hope to get him.

I have killed 2 deer that I had trail cam pics of.But they really just give me an idea of what's around.

I have a few cameras but rarely even put them out. I may have had them out for 2 weeks last may and maybe a week in august.

They aren't as fun as glassing the fields IMO, so I don't really mess with them but here and there.

So to answer your question, I have never shot a buck I had captured on a game camera, but than again I have very few on camera in the first place.

They worked great for me this year! I killed both of these bucks in this trail camera picture.
