I would like to buy a couple of decoys that are reasonably packable and light. Any suggestions for brands and models?

Thank You!!

The newest Primos look interesting.  Supposedly small and light.  Nice thing about Primos is they don't require a second mortgage or payment plan.  LOL.

The Primos PHD is very light, can be folded compactly, and can be inflated in just a few breaths. I very seldom use a decoy but have found that it is very handy in certain situations.  You can always have it with you if needed.

X2. Gave my Avians to my hunting buddy, bought the Jake and hen Primos photo form. Proof tested, turkeys not even weary around them. Very light, best I've seen yet. I use them on rainy days in open areas, field, power lines, etc

I have a Montana xd decoy hen. Not super realistic but she's easy to carry. I can put her in my Glenda green bag

are the primos as packable as the montanas? cuz they look a heck of a lot better lol

i feel like my old foam deeks look more realistic

Yes - only 13 left in stock order soon.  The now typical Amazon view.  Nice looking decoys.

How many do you use typically and which ones (hen and a jake or some other combo)?

Just me hunting solo I'll carry one jake.  Used as much as a range marker as an attractor.  Hens usually totally ignore.  Gobblers usually give a look.  Can't remember the last time I thought the single Jake ever scared one off.
