RE: Would you reach across the fence....?
What it all boils down to is respect. Respect for other people and their property. As a property owner I know both sides of all these ethics threads. I don't care if it's an antler or a wad of $100 bills. ASK before you take anything that is on someone elses property.
A bear hunter stood at my gate (he could see me) and released a dog across my land. Had he asked, I would have gave him my blessing. He didn't, he is not welcome any more.
If the owner isn't available, take the antler then inform him and offer it to him. If he doesn't want it he will think the world of you for offering. If he wants it, ask to take some pics of it. People will respect you for respecting them. That antler that you took could be the matching antler that he has been searching weeks for.
Better yet, go meet your neighbor. Ask him about things like shed hunting. Then this is no longer an issue.
I hunted for years on a friend's property. I knew I could hunt every year but I always asked every year.

That is the best post on this whole thread I think. GREAT way to put it.
Maybe I should have highlighted MORE, I'm gracious enough to not really care if someone walks along and picks up an antler off of my place, or a mushroom. I'll even sit out a night of hunting to help a guy track a deer that ran on my place, as I did last fall. It's about being a giving person. I follow the golden rule. I wouldn't drive my truck through their front yard, because I wouldn't want someone to do the same to me, but I will pick up an antler on the other side of the fence, and I'd likewise expect someone to feel free to do the same. I'm not so territorial that I'll pee on all my trees to mark my ground, if you know what I'm saying.

RE: Would you reach across the fence....?
If it were within reaching distance and I didnt have to step foot on the property, yes I would. If a deer is that close between properties he must be using both properties so whats the difference. Deer are Gods creatures and belong to no man. For that matter the deer could have been in mid air while jumpin the fence when it fell off then what?? Point blanka deer is not "property" hence the antlers are not property nor are they attached in any way to any property.........Finders Keepers!

I want to reconsider my answer due to the fact the airabove the land is a part of the land, soreaching your hand past the imaginary line which is perpendicular to the proprty line ..... it would be like walking onto his property ..... think about it guys .....

Although Im a law abiding citizen, i wouldnt even have a second thought, but thats just because I know all the owners of our neighboring properites , I can even hunt their land if I want, but I opt not to.
