I'm in the market for a new decoy (one thats not going to break the bank) after many years of using my other inflatable decay .  I happened to see the new Primos PHD  (Pocket Hen Decoy)  at gander mountain the other day and was pretty impressed with it.  It looks great and what I like about inflatables is there easy to carry and unlike a lot of other inflatables the head is attached to this decoy my old one the head wasn't attached and that become a pain in the rear to me.  Also its covered in fabric and the print is printed on it....which I also like since my old inflatable would sometimes put of a glare.  Just wondering if anyone else has seen them and what they think?

I'm going to gander mtn later today. If they have them Ill prob pick one up and let you know what it's like. If they have them, which is questionable.

If your going to the one in charleston wv.....they had them on Feb. the 2nd when I stopped there.  I should have picked one up there but I decided to wait.  They one set up to look at and I really liked it! Let me know what you think!

Sorry man. Sold out of them this morning. Said they should have more next week. At least that's what they told me. With that store you never know. Service kinda sucks there.

I hate to hear that buddy! I know Midwest Turkey call Supply has them for $44.00.  You can't go wrong with ordering from them....I've ordered a lot of stuff from them.  I agree about the Service there...I've been in there quite a few times and it seems there is hardly anyone working there.  I was in there on the 2nd getting a bow case they had some on sale that's when I seen the decoy.  I believe that is the one I'll get.

I'm a little confused on this product......For the last couple of years Primos has had their name on the inflatable Cherokee Sports decoy. The Cherokee Sports decoy cost $20 (give or take a couple). This PHD looks to be the same thing, unless Im missing something. So why are they in the $50 range? I know the the Cherokee will also fit in the cargo pocket on my pants. Just throwing this out there............

Guess the fabric cover drives up the price over the standard vinyl. I have a 4 pack flock of the  Cherokees but don't like the glare in direct sunlight. Now in the shadows, thats a whole different story.

That is a nice looking dec!

Saw them this weekend at Gander and they are a nice looking decoy. The pose has the typical foam hen posture, but definately a step up from those types. I think it would be a good option for those who don't want to lug too much stuff in the woods.

Gander has them on sale for like $40 bucks with free shipping, so not a bad deal at all.

Looks good for an inflatable.  If I were going to be covering a lot of ground and didn't want to carry a lot of extra weight and bulk, that looks like a good option. 
I'll stick with my DSDs for the places I hunt.
