Default Bucks loosing velvet?

I live in northwestern Wyoming and the bucks have just started to rub off their velvet this weekend. On our farm I saw some small trees that had been ripped to shreds by the bucks. I was just wondering what the other deer are doing in the U.S.

All the bucks that I have seen on our farm in west central WI have been out of velvet for a week or more. This is about the norm for our area, end of Aug. it's off.

on a few of our farms that we own we have pictures of bucks that have lost all of their velvet and some of the smaller bucks still have velvet on

Here more whitetails are hard horned then velvet. The mulies are behind a touch however. With in a week or so I doubt anything will be wearing velvet. The leaves are turnin and nights are longer/cooler...its happening. FALL is here!!!!
