Dedicated deer nut Joy Sims getting it done

Kristen Sims sent in these shots about one of the hardest-working hunters she knows:

“I wanted to share a couple pictures of bucks my mom, Joy Sims killed. The first is an 8 she killed in Bedford county on private land with her muzzleloader Wednesday Nov. 14th. He has a broken brow tine but is still a nice buck.

The second is an 8 killed with a .243 on private land in Campbell County Saturday Nov 17th.

Mom is an avid hunter and hardly misses a day from opening day of archery till the very end. These bucks are well deserved!”

Good to see someone rewarded for putting their time in! Congratulations, Joy!
