Pheasant season in the UK begins on the first of October and ends the first of February. Once the birds have been hung for at least three days after the hunt, their feathers plucked and bodies gutted, they make a fine meal, particularly when combined with seasonal quarry such as chestnuts, apples, squash, celeriac, mushrooms and cobnuts. Young pheasants are wonderful roasted, while older fowl are fine for pies, pot roasts and casseroles. Recipes with chicken or turkey can be easily adapted and adjusted, if needed, for their gamier cousin.
