They probably need to make them the more "driveable" type. There are a couple in neighborhoods near my parents that also have to main truck access so they've got a softer curb and the inside 4'-6' has a stamped concrete sidewalk. You can get up and over it if you are going slow, but if you were to try and hit it at speed going straight through it would probably break something.
Check out Alton Brown's guide to frying turkeys. It's on both Food Network and Youtube. Might be a little overkill but seems like a decent way.
Plus I don't know if I've ever had a bad recipe of his.
Put a liberal amount of some bulk cayenne pepper, that I bought for just this sort of thing, on the squirrel gnawed crabapple branch. Sprayed some olive oil on first as a "bonding" agent. Hoping they enjoy licking the pepper for their paws. Little *******.
I have to say that at first, I thought you were showing us three deer feet.
Duh. You paint yours red first, then add white and black. The Death MoCombine can't be green, yellow, or blue.
I can see that! That's burlap my neighbor put around his redbud. Not sure what that's for unless the deer were using it as a rub. Deer do eat his yews every year.

Phase 2: Dead Paws
While I was doing the pepper a tree rat did jump from my tree onto the neighbors redbud. I am thinking Phase 2 is a distinct possibility if not high probability.
Good plan. You *did* look, right? I tried cayenne on the birdseed along with ghost pepper flakes with somewhat mixed results.
Well just got done with a call from my dad. I thought my grandma had gotten through with this but I guess things have kind of turned in the last 24 hours. She hasn't eaten in her last two meal times. We are trying to line up to be able to do a zoom call tomorrow.
Talkin' Daisy? She shoots .177 pellets also. She might get moved back to her doorside location. Gave my .22 Crossman airguns to my grandnephews a couple months ago. Still have a really old one that charges from a refill tank...just like this one:
