Lone boot seen on 60

What the???
I took this puzzling picture while driving east on Highway 60 near Dexter today, and I'm dying to know what one boot, obviously leather, is doing posted beside the highway not far from the Hwy 25 overpass????
Any guesses??
I can't imagine the owner being unaware that he had lost such an item. It would seem rather obvious if he were wearing only one boot...It surely couldn't have slipped off his foot accidentally.
And it's strange that a passing motorist would have seen the boot and stopped to stick it on a post beside the highway.
Looks like an expensive boot, too!
I assume that there is no FOOT in the boot...
Is there a one-legged Cossack in the area??
Puzzling! Very puzzling!
