I forgot to mention something in my previous post..
When we built the buckpen, we ran field fencing through the woods, using 
trees as posts where we could, t-posts elsewhere.  To prevent excess 
tree damage, we ran a 2x4 vertically along the tree trunks and it was 
attached to the tree with a few nails.  The fencing was then attached to 
the 2x4.  The pen was about 7 or 8 years old, and we had no tree damage 
despite the fact that many of the trees had grown.  When we pulled off 
the 2x4, you could see an impression, but in a few years, that will be 
gone.  We left no metal in the trees.  Just thought I would mention this.
