And how long do you give a spot before moving on?

I spend about 30 minutes. I use a locator call if I don't see anything else and move on. I'll use a cotton tail for about 1min and rest for about 3-4min. I think mixing it up and not using the same routine helps. I hat to educate them.

I usually sit for 30 mins. I will also use a distress call first and then if i dont get a response i will howl. Sometimes you can get a response from ones just sitting back waiting. I would also have to say that i have had more encounters when i let the call run for longer periods of time 10+ mins. Switching back and for between distress calls seems to educate them more than running the same call for a longer periods of time in my experience.

These days you can buy electronic calls that have the call sequence built in. Just hit play, the pauses are built right in.
A buck will see you three times, and hear you twice, but he's only gonna smell you once.

The electronic stuff comes in handy, but I think you would agree with me that the mouth and hand calls are just as good. More realistic to me....

The e-calls come from a different location than where you are, that can be a very good advantage.

I sit down and wait 5 to 10 minutes. If I'm doing distress I call for 45 seconds very quietly and then I wait 6 minutes. I then call for another 45 seconds, this time a bit louder. Wait 6 more minutes and blow a bit harder on the call for another 45 seconds.I will sit for another 5 to 10 minutes and I leave. I usually hunt 15 to 20 minutes each set. I use a stop watch and do everything exactly the same every time.
