From the Iowa DNR:
New Requirement for Tagging Antlered Deer
A tagging requirement that is new for 2008 requires a hunter who kills an antlered buck to place the transportation tag on the animal’s antler.
It is recommended that the transportation tag be placed on the antler beam either at the base or between two points. If an individual drops the head of the deer off at a taxidermist the harvest report tag should be attached to the carcass for legal transport.
Hunters who harvest a deer must report their harvest to the DNR by midnight of day after it is killed, or before taking it to a locker, or taxidermist, or before processing it for consumption, or before transporting it out-of-state, whichever occurs first.
This is the third year where hunters have reported their kill and it is an important part of the deer management program in Iowa, playing a vital role in managing deer populations and hunting opportunities. Hunters can report their deer on the DNR website (www.iowadnr.gov), by calling the toll free reporting number (1-800-771-4692), or also at a license vender. For hunters with internet access, the online reporting of the harvest is a quick and easy way to register their deer.
