After much thought and consideration, last year I applied and was granted a tag to for a cow elk. Went out during the coldest part of of 2013(–26 degrees) in Pioche, and after two and half days, I harvested one. It was a heavy experience for me and I gave the animal and the experience the utmost respect. After having pulled almost every available piece of protein and nutrient laidened piece of meat from the animal. My buddy told me to take it to FQS to process it. When I dropped off several bags which felt like it was a total of hundred pounds, I was surprised to find out it was only sixty-five lbs after the official weigh-in. FQS then proceeded to advise me on what my options were in a friendly manner. I chose to have it converted to half Portuguese sausage and half summer sausage/salami. Heck, I did not even ask the price. I was told it would about a week to get come back and pick it up, but I received a call before the end week to come and pick i up. I headed back and was happily surprised my bounty had grown with the addition of pork to what felt like almost one hundred pounds again. It was a very pleasant experience and I am still and will continue to enjoy the delicious sausage. FQS only accepts cash or check.
