    ^^^^^This sounds fair to me.

      Don't pay for any part of his high fence because if something happens later on you could still be responsible for half.

        Offer some $ if he puts a gate in and gives you a key :P

          It should probably be a few feet on his property line to allow him to maintain it (if he is gonna be neighborly) so you shouldn't pay for a fence on his property

            Nope wouldn't give him a dime.

              Only thing I would split is half of a normal cost of a 4 1/2 foot barbed wire fence the rest is on your neighbor.

                I am sure he will take that deal. My neighbor and I did because he wanted goat wire and I wanted barbed wire

                  The other high fence side, we weren't asked. The low fence we always replaced and the other neighbors split the cost with us

                    My question is, which side is the high fence on now?
                    OP has already stated the new fence would be on the south and west side. Just wondering if this new fence would tie into the high fence already there?
                    Yes, it would.

                      I'd tell him if he wants a high fence ranch, he can pay 100% of the cost, especially since you don't want it anyway. It'll stop all of the deer traffic across the fence line in/out of your property changing forever your hunting. If he wants his own 1000 acre hunting oasis, let him foot 100% of the bill. I don't see high fences as "the neighborly thing", to me they are the ultimate FU to a neighboring land owner who is a hunter.

                      I know some on here won't agree with me, but this is America.

                        Lets say you have 1000 acres and your neighbor has 20 acres. You always give young deer a pass and never shoot them. Your neighbor hunts the fence line and shoots every buck he sees as soon as it jumps the fence. How would you feel about a high fence then?

                          Could you split the cost of a normal barbed wire fence? If he wants a premium high fence, that additional cost is on him.

                            Are they legal deer?

                              If I owned the 20ac you would not know I was killing deer

                              Let them grow and only shoot 1 every other year or so, not let everyone I know come out and fill their tags

                              But I understand what you are saying

                              Best bet would be to meet the big neighbor and let him know I was management minded and help out with chores on the big place when I could

                                Id say if a person is driven to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a fence because his neighbor likes to hunt he has some real issues and at a minimum has lost all sence as to what hunting is all about.
