Topband: Vertical install / HELP

[Ed Smith]

Hi:
 
We finally have the 25G vertical up and ready. Have three questions.
 
Am planning on using 91 feet of RG17 for a transformer to feed the 75 ohm hardline. Can I also wind that same piece as a balun ??
 
When we installed the radials, 117 total, we put down pegs and wound up with bowties with wires feeding in and out. Will it make any difference if I leave these bowties or should I sever them ??
 
To get feedline to the tower, I go over a gulley about 90 feet deep and need 650 feet of feedline. I would like to run the feedline, some control cables, and 220 vac across this gulley. What is the best way to suspend this bundle from the trees to minimize feedline length and to keep the aggravating deer away from the bundle ?? I have plenty of 1/4 inch EHS and preforms.
