The "older" bucks I had on cam last summer totally disappeared before season opened, bow season that is.  A totally new batch of bucks showed up in their place, and I must say, a much improved batch at that.  A 2-1/2 yr old and a 3-1/2 that were taken, 7 and 8 pt respectively, and some smaller bucks that weren't seen during the summer months even.  The only decent buck I've ever gotten on cam, that stayed around till season opener was a nice little 6pt that had really good potential I was thinking....until he got shot crossing into the neighbors field on opening day of rifle that year.

Now, I did have extenuating circumstances this past summer tho.  I had some trespassers break thru and totally trash around my mineral sites with 4 wheelers, where I keep my cams.  I guess this was the reason they lit out for other property, to get away from those idiots.
