Yes, unlike in western states, you can take either sex in NY or NJ. The thought process for stocking in both states is "put and take." If you are in possession of a "pheasant stamp" in NJ (a $40 stamp in addition to your regular hunting license), you can take either sex on WMA or Federal land parcels. I believe you must take cockbirds-only on Federal land parcels if you are not in possession of a pheasant stamp. A pheasant stamp is mandatory to hunt pheasants on NJ state WMA's (wildlife management areas).
In NY, a regular small game hunting license allows you to hunt pheasant.
