The pilot was landing to the north on a 1,200-foot-long, 30-foot-wide, turf runway. The runway contained a 300-foot-long flat touchdown area, followed by an incline of about 30-percent. The airplane touched down halfway down the runway and bounced. The pilot initiated a go-around; however, as the airplane climbed, the pilot observed two hay bales located about 30 feet beyond the end of the runway. He tried to avoid the hay bales by making a quick right turn, but the left side of the horizontal stabilizer hit the top of one of the bales. The airplane then pitched down and struck the ground nose first. The pilot did not over fly the field prior to the landing attempt, and was not aware of the hay bales until the airplane reached the crest of the runway.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to obtain the proper touchdown point and delayed go-around. Factors in this accident were the up sloping runway.
