I was working in the barn and walked outside to find a free range haybale had made itself at home in my field. I have NO clue how it got there as its about 100 yards from the road 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Looks like I have a new archery backstop 😬

It probably come through the hole in the fence.
 
My first summer in west central MN I had a guy set one in my front yard/field (they hay the ROWs on my old road) He didn’t to keep that bale that year. Wouldn’t have been a big deal if he came and asked, would have even let him bale the entire field but I didn’t appreciate someone just driving onto my property and leaving their shit there uninvited 🤷‍♂️. That’s how the farmers in MN are in my experience though.
 
Fell off my gooseneck driving by..........

Seriously I rolled one off in my 1 caution light town last year on main street and didn't realize it until I came back to the barn the next day to stack the load.

My bow would go right out the other side.

Anything more than a recurve, and you need a real backstop.

Was just about to write a similar story. I’ve seen a strap break loose & a round bale roll off the back of a flatbed gooseneck trailer & right thru a board fence.

Couple weeks ago I ended up with one of those 4x4x4 foot water tanks (there's a name for them I don't recall right now).
It's the whitish polypropylene/polyurethane whatever in the thin steel frame, I know you've seen them.

Of course it was blowing about 80mph during a storm....but where it ended up and the direction of the wind....ain't nobody for at least 10 miles.
Still sitting there...still waiting for someone to claim it.

That happened on the highway here a few weeks ago. Fella lost half a dozen round bales. Made a helluva mess

Tote, or IBC (intermediate bulk container)
 
Cows that get hit in the road and hay bales that come off trailers are two things nobody ever claims.

I worked a ranch in Wyoming and had a mare that got out and rolled over a Subaru. Yeah it sucked for the car but the free range sign said it all.
