Adams County Cougar Sighting
Hi,
I just found your site, great place.
The reason I am writing is about a sighting I had last night in Adams Co., IL Just outside of Quincy, IL near the airport. I was coming home from work (in Golden, IL) about 5:30 pm along E 1900 (a black top that runs north of hwy 104 through Columbus and ends at hwy 24 in Coatsburg) I was about 1-1.5 miles north of hwy 104, as I came over a small ridge I saw something just getting across the road. At first I thought it might be a deer but then I could see its tail. From my best guess it’s body was at least 4-4.5 feet long and it’s tail was easily 36 inches. I would say it stood about 24-28 inches high. It was a darker tan color with a white under belly. Just before I passed it it turned it’s head toward me and it’s eyes reflected back a yellow color. I now have my camera in my car to hopefully see it again and get a picture.
Thanks
Andy Myers
