Martin, pheasant hunting is incredible... I have done a tremendous amount of pheasant hunting in France earlier in life, with dogs as well as driven hunts. I have had the chance to hunt them with my own dogs, two Vizsla (Hungarian Braque) which is very rewarding. Driven pheasant hunts can be action packed and very challenging... Certainly if you enjoy bird hunting in Europe you need to experience Sandgrouse hunting in Namibia, it's an amazing rush for those who are passionate about bird hunting.
I am not familiar with Slovakia but know many hunters in France who go to Hungary particularly to hunt pheasant and I imagine that it might be similar to your country.
As gillettehunter said, it's a great bird to eat as well!
