Hawk gave me some Pheasants last year from South Dakota. We made Pheasant Caccitore several times which is a Italian hunter's stew that you can make with any game. If your pheasants are skinless, you might add a couple of pieces of bacon.
We also made pheasant and dumplins several times which I loved. Again, rather simple and same recipe you would use for any game and dumplins.
If at all possible, take the time to pluck your birds out. Having skin is a game changer with pheasant. You can even use a Red Bull can and do a drunken pheasant if it has its skin. Skinless definitely limits your options as the meat will dry out quickly.

Yea they are skinless...I was thinking about wraping them in Chicken Skin if I decided to grill one. I want to try lots of recipes that require only 1 or 2 birds . I haven't been impressed with any of my previous attempts.

If its skinless, you don't stand a chance in the smoker. You could cover it in chicken skin, but you'll still loose moisture.

I've done a wild turkey breast skinless by using cheesecloth soaked in melted butter. Never say never.

There is a chicken with cornmeal dumplings recipe in the Nov. issue of " Southern Living " that we used pheasant instead of chicken and it was a hit with our group. We hunted mostly in Potter county around Gettysburg, SD again this year.
Poser message me contact infor if you would like some birds.

How about this one? It's a wild turkey pot pie recipe from "Field and Stream" a few years ago. Mrs. TAFKAP made it one night with chicken, and this thing was incredible.

I brined mine with rosemary, thyme, garlic, onion and peppercorns over night. Then stuff a slice of jalapeno, a garlic clove and maybe a small chuck of onion. Wrap a slice of bacon around it and cook on the grill. The hardest part of cooking them is keeping them moist. But brining them and giving them some protection with the bacon fat works well.
We hunted them at pheasant hunting club, you dropped off shot birds and they gave you already cleaned birds. There were never any wings and most would be missing the bottom half of the legs.

What made it was the homemade crust....full of black pepper 
We're not big on winter squash AT ALL, but it really worked with this. I think the biggest reason she hasn't made it again was the sheer mess and involvement of the recipe. But well worth the effort.

I like putting them in cream of mush soup and some seasons than eating over rice. We also would make in BBQ sauce like pulled pork but cook in sauce.
