The 35th annual Arkansas Big Buck Classic presented by Relyance Bank was held at the Arkansas State Fairgrounds on January 25, 2025. The three-day festival is made for the lovers of the outdoors and makes claim to being the largest hunting expo in the south. Festivalgoers can shop with vendors selling hunting products, boats and ATV's, and attend attractions, such as rattlesnake wrangling, chainsaw carving, and a free trout fishing pond. However, the main draw of the festival is the Arkansas deer antler exhibit, with prizes for the largest deer in each county in the state. Relyance is proud to sponsor & volunteer at Big Buck Classic and this year Relyance Bank President Scott Pittillo’s daughter, Ramey, submitted the 2nd largest deer from Jefferson County & the 5th largest deer submitted by a youth hunter in the state of Arkansas.
