    Question I have is, how were the other sides handled? Did you help pay for them or were you even asked?

      tell him it's the "neighborly thing to do"
      I like that idea.

        Nope. This sounds like an all around suck for you....

        if my neighbor wants to split fence costs with me, we will be doing it when and how it's convenient for me. I'd probably build a wire low fence myself, so him asking you for even half the labor and materials for a low fence still isn't a good deal for you, especially since you weren't ready to do it right now.

        I wouldn't even think about gettting built inside a high fence with someone who thinks like he does...

            We have a fairly large ranch and our neighbors decided to put up a high fence on one side of us. But he never asked us to pay anything. He only made it about 3/4 of a mile, maybe a mile and didn't finish it. But since he has done that I have seen an increase in deer numbers in that specific area on our place. I wouldn't pay for it either, you did the neighborly thing in my opinion.

              Around here neighbors usually go in on a fence and the bulldozed tree/brush piles get split between the two properties.

              If one neighbor declines to participate in paying for it he usually takes all the brush piles.

                    I'd bet the neighbor won't agree to that for some reason

                      According to the very first post, the OP has a high fence on one side now. The neighbor that asked the OP to pay for half for "the new high fence", will be on 2 sides of his 175 acre tract.
                      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?

                        I would think that he could just put in an H post next to the high fence and never touch the other guys fence and still fence his property. If the guy pulls his new fence off the property line just put up a hot wire until your ready to build your own fence. Either way with only 175 acres and high fenced on three sides a persons deer count will be very limited.

                          I'd let him know it's not "neighborly" to high fence you out, pound sand homie. Or I like the other option of paying for half of the high fence to include you inside the 1175 acres high fence, of course that'll never happen

                            That's how it works around here too everyone pays something one way or another. Don't want either I'd pull my fence off the property line and not let the other guy tie in.

                              I guess my question to the neighbor would be do "I" (OP) get hunt inside the fence if I pay half?!?

                              Better yet, offer to contribute to the fence if he includes OP's property inside the high fence. The OP can still maintain a low/cow fence to keep his cattle off the neighbor's land.

                              If the neighbor declines either or both offers, decline to contribute to HIS fence.

                                My buddy did this and it worked out well, but he and the neighbor really are good friends
