Posting this per a request. I haven't tried it, but it comes from a much loved book-The Poultry and Game Cookbook. It's supposedly a Bavarian recipe.

Steps:
- Wrap the pheasants with the bacon, securing it with string.
- Loosely tie the legs together.
- Melt the butter and oil in a heavy pan over moderate to high heat and fry the pheasants on all sides until the bacon fat starts to run.
- Drain the excess fat from the pan, reduce the heat and pour the wine over the pheasants.
- Add the peppercorns and bayleaves and bring the wine to simmering point.
- Cover the pan tightly and cook for 30-40 minutes, or until the birds are almost tender.
- Pack the sauerkraut around the sides of the birds and pour the beer over.
- Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, then add the sausage, cover and heat through.
- To serve, carefully lift the pheasants from the pan.
- Snip the string and remove without disturbing the bacon.
- Place the birds on a warmed serving dish and keep hot.
- Remove the sausage and set aside for a moment.
- Adjust the seasonings of the sauerkrat before arranging it around the pheasants.
- Discard the bayleaves and peppercorns if you find them.
- Quickly cut the sausage into 1cm slices and lay over the sauerkraut.
- Using snips or poultry shears, cut into halves or quarters to serve, trying not to disturb the bacon slices.
