We have tons of wild rose hip in the bush. We pick and use them in critter food apple sauce we make in the fall for our rabbits.
As a kid I remember my mom and grandma making all kinds of jam, sauces and such from choke cherries, buffalo berries, Holly grapes, and ground cherries.
Ground cherries are supposed to be a perennial, but not this far north. Sweetie has them in the green house for me when we can find them at the nursery.

I was at a suburban IGA the other day, and they had quite a range of cookbooks on sale for $2.99 each (yes, that's three dollars. One of which is about game foods; plucking/skinning, cleaning, dressing, and finally cooking. Sure, some of the animals aren't found around here (wood pidgeon, grouse, hare, plus others), but the principles will be adaptable to our own game I'm sure. I imagine the principles of cleaning a turkey could be applied to a swan, for example. It's available on Amazon for over $30; if anyone in Perth wants a copy let me know and I can grab one for the next meet-up. Assuming they still have some... www.amazon.com/Hunters-Guide-Preparing-Cooking-Game/dp/B01FJ191YU/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=hunter%27s+guide+preparing+cooking+game&qid=1558956076&s=gateway&sr=8-5

I'm surprised that IGA hasn't had complaints about the book from those that think meat comes from a factory 😂
As far as killing and dressing anything goes, the same principles apply to anything that is similar, ie duck/goose/turkey/swan are all the same to do, and smaller birds are very similar. Large and small mammals all involve simply bleeding, skinning (or scalding and dehairing in the case of pigs), gutting, taking off the feet and head and then cutting into movable or usable portions.
What are the recipes like in it? 😊
And for anyone who is looking at doing wild Australian game I'd suggest they research the pests and diseases that are most commonly found here and learn how to spot them. No one wants to get brucellosis from a wild pig 😣 or stifle worm from a rabbit

No one wants to get brucellosis from a wild pig 😣 or stifle worm from a rabbit We always inspect the liver and lungs of animals immediately when we butcher them as parasites often show symptoms on these organs.
