I stay 15 minutes. Most I have called have shown up from 1 - 3 minutes. Next would be 5 - 7 minutes, after that I lose confidents in the stand. Some stay 30 minutes, but I rarely have had any luck after 10 minutes. I use a cottontail & jack rabbit hand calls. Try calling cross wind to where you exspect them to be, it makes it a little harder for them to get downwind of you without being seen.
