Some seemingly out-of-place objects are found in a field.
- A carrot
- several stones
- a pipe
What happened here?
The carrot is used as a bait by the pipe smoking, slingshot wielding hunter
or
the snowman melted
or
the scarecrow was busted

I was thinking something similar to inzanity except that the pipe was used to smoke the rabbit out of its burrow?? lol.
I do believe
inzanity has the answer correct with a melted snowman.

Yes, the melted snowman sounds much more feasible!

topical for time of year etc,
so i'd go with the melted snowman too.

well done inzanity.

Indeed, the snowman melted.
Good job
inzanity!
