The raptors are, but the pheasants will get under cover and are protected from the eyes in the sky.

The 4-legged predators do a number on nests & the young 'uns, and on Momma if she doesn't get out of there when they come a calling.

I think both PF and DU did a study and found that control of predators (raccoons, skunks, opossum, fox and coyote) helped the population just as much and sometimes more than good habitat did.
