Shedding velvet yet in west TN?

[Boll Weevil]

What county?

Should start seeing it any day now in most counties IMO.
Although I haven't seen it yet, I suspect a lot of bucks have started the process

Have had 2 cameras out for a month and have yet to get our first buck picture. Used to run a mineral site camera, not allowed to have minerals in high risk area, so that has cut down those pics. With health issues did not get any annual food plots in either. Hoping when the corn and beans around us starts coming out, that things will pick up.

Looks like just a fair acorn crop this year, but should get some deer coming around when they start dropping.

Middle TN....pics are from couples days ago....saw two smaller bucks that had just shed velvet as well.....but still getting pics of bucks with full velvet.

Shedding in middle TN. Some have lost it all, some still have it all——but not much longer.

I'm not seeing any hard horn, but there were some killed this weekend in Kentucky in hard horn.

Thanks y'all. Reason I ask is velvet shed time is generally when bachelor groups start bustin' up and the last cam pull 2 days ago had all kinds of new bucks showing up that we haven't seen all summer.

Exactly Boll Weevil. I usually don't see "new" bucks on cam until they are in hard horn.

Put up a couple stands in Hickman County this weekend. I saw three small to medium bucks all in full velvet.

I have pics of hard horn bucks in Hickman county beginning 4 days ago.

My property in KY is about 3 miles from the Tn line. I'm seeing about half hard horn and half velvet right now. I hardly ever see one in velvet by the 2nd weekend of season.

Seen 3 bucks yesterday on my property, all were hard horned.

Interesting. In Humphreys, usually the first hard horn I see will be the last days of August, but most shedding occurs around Sept 6-7. And I'll have a few stragglers, usually yearling bucks, still in velvet until around Sept 25.

Went out the other day and seen a lot of red oaks dropping already and couldn't step without seeing chewed up acorns, middle tennesse

I have 3 year old bucks frequenting my backyard. 1 came in Sunday morning with a little velvet left flopping around. He managed to get it off while I was watching. I have pics of a nice 9 in my yard 3 years ago that got rid of his the last week of August

They were still in velvet in the beans Saturday in Ohio from what i could tell.
