Years ago, our "neighbor" burned the straw on his field adjacent to our best hay field, and in doing so, burned down the wood fence posts of the assumed property line. It was darn near a quarter mile of fence. When my Dad asked the "neighbor" when he was going to fix or help fix the destroyed line fence, he replied "I"m not running any cows".
This made my Dad angry and he had the property surveyed. The surveyor determined that one corner of our property was about 50 feet off, and the existing fence (which had been there for who knows how long) had been very much in the "neighbor"s" favor. He said we had been losing a thin, pie shaped portion of our land. When my Dad and I rebuilt the fence, we moved it over to the line the surveyor had marked. We built pretty good cow fence. My Dad thought we gained at least an acre or two.
The "neighbor" was furious and demanded that we put the fence back where it had been. My Dad told him that he would have done that if the guy had not been such a rear end when he destroyed the good existing fence and then would not even help repair it. The "neighbor" also threatened to pull the new fence out, but my Dad advised him not to do that or the law would be involved.
The "neighbor" threatened to sue and talked about adverse possession and other laws. My Dad told him to go ahead and sue, then we would see what a judge thought of the whole situation. The "neighbor" never did sue, and he left the new fence alone. But our families were never very cordial after that--it left bitter feelings on both sides. Was it worth it? I don"t really know, I was kid at the time. We gained over an acre of good ground.
