I just saw this on Fox news about the same sighting.

See, pictures do help prove it. Also, isn't it interesting that they could find no tracks near the trail camera.

That one is still in Missouri and will need to figure out how to cross the Mississippi River to get over here.

Maybe it will take a ferry? Maybe it will walk across the bridge? Maybe it will walk across when it freezes over????

So for Not Confirmed in Illinois.

I think the ferries in this area are closed. It could probably come across on a bridge though.

The ferries are about 30 miles north of where this was spotted, so that's not likely even if they were running. Chesterfield, where this was spotted is on the West side of St. Louis county. It was spotted only about 10 miles from where I live in St. Charles, MO. I go through that area often and my son works in the Chesterfield bottoms area. I'll be giving him a heads up about it in the morning.

Debunk, I knew I should've had a disclaimer on there. That it wasn't in IL. Sorry

Trail cams in remote rural areas haven't produced yet but one in Chesterfield does.
We're looking in the wrong places I guess..........LOL
