Clearely, you should get a bulldozer and destroy the fence. Then pound on his front door and loudly demand to "get to the bottom of this".
Seriously though, it all depends on how interested said neighbor is in keeping the fenceline and how interested you are in moving it back.

Ok so I got the survey in and it shows his fence is over a triangular shaped area 15ft x 400ft (+/-3000sqft). Should I talk with him before the sale to see what kind of attitude he has towards the ordeal, or would it be best to just go through with it and approach him once I own it?
Leaning more towards after the sale so, I actually have leverage and maybe offer him to buy the portion he has been sitting on since that will more than likely be less expensive than a demo and installation of a new 400 ft fence.

Important point. Depending upon the strength of your case, you may want to avoid a legal battle and simply reestablish the boundar via a joint boundary agreement. Reduced acreage should be reflected in purchase price. Happens all the time, especially with rural, undeveloped real estate. I just complete a lengthy legal battle (about 3 years) but did get a judgement to have the fence moved (not a minor task...about 1 mile of deer fencing). The "neighbor" was not at all cooperative so I wanted to stick it to him.
