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"

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.

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

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 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.
