HI Denny
You have to be careful when hooking something to a tree. I have
some guywires on my tower hooked to some screw eyes screwed into
a tree. I didn't check them for a long time, and now the bark
has grown over them, and I'll have to take an axe and clean the
bark away from them to loosen the guys from the screweyes. You
will have to dress them away from the tree. See ya'
