Talking New to Hunting/Cooking Wild Birds

Hi
My boyfriend and I are new to hunting. He's going on his first (of many) Duck/fowl hunt soon with some very experienced hunters. Neither of us grew up hunting so we don't know much. Are there any great websites or books out there for us?

I won't be joining him, however, I am going to be cooking anything he catches. (Yes, its a bit ambitious and hopeful that he'll get anything...)

Couple of questions for you more experienced hunters:

-What's the best way for him to get anything he's shot to me? I live in NYC he's hunting down in Missouri. Mail? Take it on the plane with him?
-How do I clean fowl? Are there any parts that aren't edible? (I'm not squemish at all. Pics or a video appreciated)
-Recipes! Not to toot our own horns but we are both pretty accomplished cooks. But neither of us have ever prepared wild game. I'd love some recipes or cookbooks. Any tips or tricks? I'm concerned the meat will be tough...

Thanks all! I really appreciate any pearls of wisdom or books/websites you can direct me too
