House File 254 - EnrolledAn Actrelating to tagging requirements for deer carcasses and
including penalties.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF IOWA:
Section 1. Section 483A.8, subsection 2, Code 2017, is
amended to read as follows:
2. a. The deer hunting license shall be accompanied by
a tag designed to be used only once. When a deer is taken,
the deer shall be tagged and the tag shall be dated. The tag
shall be attached to the carcass of a deer taken within fifteen
minutes of the time the deer carcass is located after being
taken, or before the carcass is moved to be transported by any
means from the place where the deer was taken, whichever occurs
first. For each antlered deer taken, the tag shall be affixed
to the deer’s antlers.
b. For purposes of the tagging requirements in this
subsection, a deer carcass may be moved away from an obstacle,
entanglement, waterway, or any other area, including but not
limited to a roadway, if tagging the carcass at that location
would be a safety hazard to the hunter or a third person,
before the tag is attached to the carcass. However, the
carcass shall not be moved from the immediate vicinity of where
the deer was taken, shall be moved only so far as is necessary
to avoid the obstacle, entanglement, waterway, or other safety
hazard, and shall be tagged immediately upon being so moved and
before being moved to be transported.
