Same here in Missouri.....the Bucks usually loose their velvet the last part of August and early Sept....our Bow Season starts Sept 15 and so far I've never seen or shot a Buck that was still in velvet by then!

Just commented to the wife a couple days ago that the deer are shedding their summer coats and getting that brown/gray winter coat.
Walking the pup early this morning saw a buck rubbing a small maple tree so I say the last week of August they start shedding the velvet.
