Habitat loss and farming changes are the culprits, I suggest. Certainly was in Michigan. Larger and larger fields meant less hedgerows, 3rd cutting of new, faster growing hay resulted in destruction of pheasant nests. Predators are only a significant problem when there are a lot of them (Which means there is lots of game). Minimal game, minimal predators
