Dave has provided the regulatory info, but the bottom line is that you can
do pretty much whatever you want to do at an uncontrolled field in VFR
conditions...and sometimes people do some really weird and unexpected
things. If a pilot wants to shoot a practice instrument approach of any kind
to such an airport, the result will be a straight-in, which is covered by
the Advisory Circular he cites.

Part 91 contains all of the operational regulations you will ever need as a
Part 91 pilot. Anything that is not specifically prohibited is allowed.

Is there any reason, or regulation, that states that a pilot, flying
VFR, is prohibited in flying a GPS approach to an uncontrolled field
(assuming VFR conditions at the field), or must the pilot fly the
usual pattern to land?

Thanks.
