Took a long time but finally heard back from the DNR:
Mr. Schmidt,
Under current Iowa law, a deer that is legally harvested, tagged and registered by whomever can be given to someone even if they do not have a license and then they can legally transport that animal to where ever including out-of-state.

What are the regulations concerning A NR hunter that has a NR doe tag, hunting with a party? Can he legally transport a buck out of state. I have been asked this question and am not sure. If he can legally do this there is a flaw in the system that needs to be repaired. If you buy and pay for a doe tag that is what you should legally be allowed to transport back out of state. Thanks in advance.

You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.
