I read this last night for the first time. I knew someone had to have mentioned this on here because, if accurate.....MERCY! It's one of the best sighting accounts of all time. A pair of Bigfoot reenacting the Linda Evans/Joan Collins fight from Dynasty? One could barely be more thrilled if they were playing lacrosse.
The witness seems solid. Based on documented characteristics of primates (including humans), and other mammals, we know that both rough-and-tumble play and hostile physical engagement are normal behaviors, so it's not farfetched despite being very unusual in relation to the existing pool of reports. I'd imagine that it might be hard for a surely-astonished observer to discern if the activity was hostile or if they were just passin' the time.
An interesting point of the report is the animals' immediate change in focus upon hitting the road. It seems that their elusiveness kicked in immediately upon finding themselves vulnerable on a human artifact - the road. They stopped fussin', one looked one way up the road, the other looked the other way and the observer was seen. Then, they made the characteristic SQ escape into the green stuff. This well illustrates the SQ's awareness of their location and potential for being seen, and I found it striking. This behavior is not a secret by any means, but I found the way it is exemplified in this report to be fascinating.
About all I can say is that if the witness is telling the truth, he's a very, very fortunate man. I don't even want to think about what I'd give to have that encounter.

The "50 years" book also mentions a brawl between 2 sasquatch......with screaming/howling loud enough to disturb the neighbors and bring a cop to the farm.
(yeah, I know, the 'neighbors' never heard such a thing, and if a cop actually showed up, there'd be a record of it.)

Wow.. I hadn't seen that report before. Thanks for posting that Belle.

I have been interested in this area for the past year. I had planned on going there last February to poke around some, had the truck loaded and ready to go and had to literally cancel at the last minute due to a situation beyond my control concerning my husband's place of employment.
I am planning to try going over there again this coming February. It is only 2 hours from where I live, but I'll be fairly close to that area in Hot Springs this Feb.
I'm not sure what to think of that report.. but it
is interesting to say the least.

Sounds very similar to another story a while back but watered down...I think I smell

Dang, how did I miss this one?
I think the report has the ring of truth to it. Mainly because of the way the witness said the sighting made him feel. It's hard to describe that feeling. I don't see anything in it that makes me think the incident didn't happen the way the witness says it did.
There have been many reports come out of this area of the state. Saline county has all the things that would make it a great place for a sasquatch or two to hang their hats.
Just my 2 pennies.

I'm looking but can't find it. I think it had something to do with two young guys that heard noises over a hill and went to look and saw two Sasquatch fighting to the death. It might have been listed at the Bigfoot society web site.

"The little Bigfoot was dead or was doing a good opposum trick, then the big Bigfoot stood up and waving its hand in the air it gave out one hell of a yell, man it cut right through ya', then threw the rock, not knowing we were watching all the happenings. The rock came hurling at us, we didn't know if it saw us or not." "Steven was all freaked out, begging to leave." "I said OK, I was scared too, we got up then we turned for no real reason, just in time to see the Bigfoot thrust his hand into the abdomen of the dead Bigfoot, ripping out two big handfuls of guts."
"Steven saw that and started to 'chuck' right there ... Steven had enough of this, we started to move out of view of the Bigfoot, I looked back to make sure that it wasn't following us, as I looked back I saw the Bigfoot eating the guts greedily. Steven looked too ... that just made him 'chuck' more as we ran to get out of there. When we got to the car Steven had barf all over him."
Oh yes, the two reports sound very similiar......puleeeze.

Yeah, I don't see any similarity outside the obvious. Any report of two sasquatches fighting is going to contain....two sasquatches fighting. Certainly one report is lacking the sheer sensationalism of the other, to say the least.
If SQ abstain from fussin' among themselves, they're on a pretty short list of animals that behave so, I'd think. Things with hair or fur on 'em seem to have no problem being ornery among their kind, and with other kinds too, when the inclination hits.
I wish I knew more about this encounter. The TBRC seems to me an organization that follows a high standard, so that's worth considering.

I don't think so. The ARK report seems much more credible. No blood, no guts, just a running wrasslin' match. Very Arkansan!

That's a very good point. It's not hard for me to believe they would fight over food sources, territory, women, the best place at the watering hole, who's got the cutest kid, etc.

Women!!??!! I hope you meant female bigfeet! Surely not human women? If I've gotta fight bigfoot for my wife, well.....

I for one couldn't imagine being able to resume the normal facets of everyday life after being witness to a scene like that. Job, bills, taxes, elections, etc., would all pale into meaningless after having your eyes opened to the "real" reality of your surroundings. Time to bar the door, put some wood on the fire, pour a stiff toddy and sit in "time-out" for a while!

That is a very interesting report !
Makes sense to me that BFs would have TESTOSTERONE TUSSLES from time to time.
Also interesting is how even in the heat of battle, detection of a Human presence over-rides EVERYTHING else !
Evidently, the BF's first rule of thumb IS to remain elusive....
