The Arkansas Big Buck Classic returns to the Arkansas State Fairgrounds Friday, Jan. 22, through Sunday, Jan. 24. Everything from hunting equipment to live animals are part of the annual event, now in its 26th year.

The show centers on successful hunters from the 2015-16 Arkansas deer season. Hunters are encouraged to bring their deer’s antlers or mounts to be scored and judged for prizes, including a Can-Am 450L Outlander ATV, courtesy of Bradford Marine and ATV. Categories for archery, muzzleloader, modern gun and shed antlers are available, and special categories for ladies and youths offer additional prizes.

The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission’s mobile aquarium and Scales of Justice exhibit trailer will be at the event, and AGFC staff will be on-hand selling the AGFC’s book “A Century of Conservation” and cookbook “A Celebration of Conservation.”

The awards presentation begins at 4 p.m. Jan. 24. There is no charge for parking on the fairgrounds site.

Show hours are:
