I generally only stay about 15 minutes at the most but have sometimes stayed as long as 30 minutes and ended up getting a coyote in. But as a rule of mine I don't waste much time over 15 minutes. Generally they are there in that amount of time. AS far as how long to wait before going into another call, if you are talking electronic call, I wait about a minute or so then call with another. I don't call solid with electronic call. I turn the call on for about 1 minute then turn it off and wait about 5 minutes before calling again, watching for any movement. If there is a coyote in the area and he hears the call believe it or not he already has the sound pegged to where it is coming from. Just start off low and work high. Hand calls I do the same. Call short then wait then call again. Hope this helps. Everyone on here has a different way of calling so I am sure you will hear other theories.

I'm with Jack...I would also say to make it random. Don't get too caught up in the time that the caller runs, literally play it by ear. If it sounds good, good echo, let it run. Think of it from a predators point of view. Most of my predators come in under 5 minutes, but I still will run my stand out. Most of the time any call sequence will get the job done. Look for sign of other animals on the way in, and use those calls.

Stand length depends on where I am and the hunting pressure. Some places I stay on stand 30 minutes or longer, but in general I only call for 15 to 20 minutes.
I call, then scan the area, then call again. I'm a busier caller than most with maybe a minute in between series. After my last call I wait at least a couple of minutes, then bino the area before leaving. I've had a few stands where that helped me coax in a dog that otherwise would have seen me leave from a distance.
I had a stand last week where a dog showed up over five minutes after I finished calling and was retrieving my decoy. Not much you can do to prevent that. Most coyotes show up for me between the five and twelve minute mark.
