What is the average time frame that you guys would stay on a set- up calling fox?

Generally on a fox set up I'll stay 20 minutes then on to the next set, definitely no longer than 30 unless I think I have a good chance of a yote coming in. But that's just me, I'm sure you'll get a few different answers.

I stay as long as I think the stand is good for. Can be 10 min or up to 45 min. Most are around 15 to 20 min. If you want to call in more doubles and triples, well sometimes it just takes a longer stand.
For a brief moment I could hear nature through all the noise.

20 minute average for me.
"Predators are either active & feeding, semi-active & callable, or utterly inactive & then practically speaking, no call is needed; we're just taking our guns for a walk. We can & should get used to it, & follow their leed cuz they just ain't eager nor apt to follow our’s any time soon!

My area (York) has mostly Red's.  The majority of the red fox I call in come within the first 5 minutes.  I usually give it 10 - 15 before moving.

Foxes 5-45 depending on wind and sign in the area

Coyotes 45-? They have taken over an hour to work their way in so it's tough to leave when you've got good wind and action.
