I'm sure there are regs - call the DEC wildlife office for the best info. They do have a program that would cover your "release" part of your plan - not sure about the "dinner" part of your plan. DEC Pheasant INFO linkNYSDEC Cooperative Day-old Pheasant Chick Program (DOCP) - Approximately 60,000 day-old chicks are hatched and distributed to cooperators in the DOCP. More than 160 applications, including thirty Cooperative Extension 4-H programs, are approved for participation in the DOCP annually. Many more clubs, individuals and youth participate in the raising and distribution of the pheasants. Each cooperator receives a specified number of day-old chicks to raise and release at no additional expense to DEC. All birds must be released on lands open for public hunting. Program participants include 4-H youth, sportsmen clubs and county federations, landowners, NYS Department of Corrections, and other individuals. DOCP cooperators allow pheasant hunting on hundreds of sites and thousands of acres of privately owned lands

I raised them 2 years ago. You must have a permit through DEC to even own them. Not a big deal. Give em a call.
