Thornfield, Mo. Ozark county usal

In late October, early November 2018
I had a bumper crop of hard Woody pears in my front yard, the tree was as full as I've ever seen it. They were ripening very slow that year so I left them on the tree hoping to harvest before the first frost!
One evening as I was checking the pears I figured I had best pick them the next day, the sun was almost down, and I kept thinking I better harvest those pears, well it's about dark I'd best get in shower and go to bed, Lord what is that nasty. Skunky wet dog smell in the air Tonite,. Nasty guess the dog chased down a skunk or some thing....
The next day I got up gathered some boxes thought I'd get out and gather up and pick my Pears, be walk out the front door walk over to the pear tree, be rubbed my eyes in disbelief!!! 
All the pears are gone out of my tree even the ones that had been on the ground, every last one... Gone, not even a half rotted one left, but, my pears, come on this tree is at least twenty feet tall, hundreds of big ol pears,. Well I shook my head in disbelief, walked back to the house, as I feared the front door I remember thinking, there's that nasty wetdogskunk smell again by coming from around the East side of the house on the breeze...

May 3 or 4 2019
It's 330 am, my lil beagle, Emmit is climbing up the side of my bed, he continues pounding on the bed, come on dad wake up I gotta go,ok emmit I'm coming, he runs to the front door excited to get out to pee, well of all things, we go out front I wait on the door stoop, emmit runs to the end of the drive way sits and stares across the road, where I hear 3 load tree knocks, not once but ongoing until we get back in the house, WHAT THE HECK WAS IN THE WOODS 400 OR MORE YARDS AWAY, RYTHMICALLY BEATING ON A TREE AT 330AM????!!!!
COULD IT BE A BIGFOOT???
WELL LIKE THE SMARTASS IVE BEEN, I STARTED GOING OUT IN MY FRONT YARD EVERY NITE AFTER DARK AND BEATING ON A TREE IN MY FRONT YARD!!! ILL JUST TALK TO THIS GUY?!??
WELL ABOUT THREE NITES LATER I Was getting ready to shower and go to bed, as I was getting undressed to hop in the shower I have the bathroom window cracked to let air in and help circulate air thru the bath and bedroom, well I'm just about to step into the shower and coming thru the bathroom window is a very audible low, deep growl, like I've never herd in these woods around here, the closest thing I've ever heard that even compared to it was the growl of a gorilla at the St Louis zoo!!!
It really didn't scare me but I figured Bigfoot was just letting me know that he is here, and I'm gonna get your pears again this year!!!
The next evening my neighbor, Bill stop by to talk a and he related to me that, A FEWNITES BACK I WOKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NITE, I GUESS I HAD BEEN DREAMING SO.EONE HAD BEEN KNOCKING ON THE DOOR, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NITE!!!
