Growl in Florida (2011)

Hunter experiences eerie silence, foul odor and possible wood knocking in the Cardinal Marsh Wildlife Management Area

The witness was deer hunting from a tree stand when a strong foul odor drifted from upwind and appeared to move past him, from the river bottom behind him toward the ridge top, without any source being seen. Roughly an hour later he heard paired thudding sounds like logs or a log hitting a tree, which repeated again after about another hour from the same location. The woods around his stand were unusually quiet, while his companion farther upstream reported normal wildlife activity.
