Tips for raising pheasant?

[Lilred]

It was 70 today! Plum crazy fer January...
I took advantage of the warm weather tho and we began preparing the garden fer spring. We also decided this year to plant 3 or 4 "wildlife" plots on the property. Mostly fer the 3 nice covey of bobwhites here and i'm hopin it'll keep the deer & rabbits out of the garden...well...maybe ease my pain a lil anyway..lol

Then i got to thinkin about raisin some bobwhite....and then got to thinkin bout pheasant. I've done the bobwhite thing fore...but could use some advice on pheasant. First thing's first...how much room would they need? I'm not gonna get a ton of em...I think startin out small would be best fer now...lord knows we dont need the headlines readin "Lilred massacres local pheasant population."

I think i have to have a permit too...which is fine. I reckon basic ideas would be a big help...I dont wanna jump into somethin i caint handle. But i would love it..I dont mind spendin the money...but are they very hard to care fer?
