A club member shot this buck, I am about 50/50 on this one? I know I need some more angles, but this is all the pics I have.

The one in the first pics looks like it has longer tines and slightly heavier mass than the one shot.looks like to different deer to me.also the y fork at the end of anlter is different.the second pic maybe the same deer as it has the same white ring behind nose that the first pics does not appear to have.

I agree. The dead buck has a destinct black mouth mark while the top pictured buck does not. The taller right browtine of the dead buck would show up above the right ear of the top buck if they were the same deer. The top buck has a destinct "swoop" at the end of his right beam that the dead buck does not have.
 
The G3's on the buck in the first picture seem to be longer than the picture of the buck your club member harvested. I would say two different bucks which is good in your case if the buck in the first picture survived last season.
 
Sounds good to me! I hope they are different! I agree with your comments. One thing I have noticed is that deer look bigger on a trail cam pic than in person, to me. Anyone else agree???
 
The first and last pic (harvested buck) are different. The first pictured buck has no visible browtines. The harvested buck does--and those browtines would have been visible in that first pic if they were there.
