Pheasant Distress?

I'm just starting out calling/hunting 'yotes and picked up a "Strictly Business" plus one set. It occurred to me that one of the locations I'll be hunting is stocked with Pheasants for hunting. Would it:

a) be a good idea to emulate an animal that is ubiquitous in the area and likely a favorite meal?
b) be possible to get a pheasant distress hand call?

Unlike other distress calls I've heard the pheasant seems to start with a lower pitched drawn out sound and then end with an abrupt higher pitched sound (almost like a small mammal distress sound played backwards?). I haven't been able to get any of my calls to sound like this, but I also don't really know what I'm doing yet...

Thanks in advance!
 
I'm sure someone on here could make you one.
If not, AllPredatorCalls.com sells some..... http://www.allpredatorcalls.com/categories/Pheasant/


I have to admit that I have never used a pheasant distress sound.
However, at times, to add a bit of "story" to my calling...I have from time to time, used a closed reed jack rabbit call, to make the sound of a flushing pheasant. (You know...that flushing cackle.)
