RE: Would you reach across the fence....?
absolutely i would get it. anyone that says they wouldn't is lying because they think that is the politically correct thing to say
Sorry,I can't keep a straight face even when typing this.
Of course I'd pick it up. I wouldn't go trapsing across a field looking for antlers but one that is sitting on the fence line, I'd sure get it.

RE: Would you reach accross the fence....?
If I could reach it without setting foot on there land I'd grab it. Otherwise no I wouldn't. I would ask 1st if I could cross the fence on foot.
I've actually been in this predicament before, the shed was about 10' on the other side of a fence. I called the land owner and asked him If I could jump across his fence and grab a shed antler. These land owners are allot like me, they go crazy on trespasser's so I figured I better practice what I preach and call them instead. He said go for it.
I ended up making a good friend out of the situation, I can go shed hunting on his land anytime now without asking.

***EDITED****
I answered yes, originally ....... but I change my answer to NO .......... their rights are worth more than an antler or a deer ..... and so are mine and all of yours ...

RE: Would you reach accross the fence....?
I don't shed hunt, but I have found lots of sheds and skulls while hunting and metal detecting, but if I was walking and saw it, yeh Im going over the fence. Im not that ethical dude, I won't kill a deer or hunt on someone elses property, but if it's big enough I will get the antler, but then again, sheds don't do much for me, so I may not even notice it.
