Velvet dries and falls off, yes they sometimes do rub as well but if they never rubbed, the velvet still comes off.

Yes in my area bucks are shedding velvet, not all but it is inevidable.

We got a bit of each here. Some completely shed and others have it hanging still. About 3 weeks from now things are going to start changing quick.

Was told I have a droptine buck in my honey hole that is hard horned. I haven't seen any lately and I have to go check my camera today after a 2 week wait. I've been sent a pic from tkycaller that has a pic of a shed buck. I'd imagine it's the same everywhere now, some are, some aren't but like Moto said, it's a matter of time now.
