It would be more interesting if they could incorporate length of call into the equation somehow. Anything to improve gameplay.

Actually we're talking about the call duration, not a number of calls. Still, Wikia recommends to call them in shory frequencies. I'm wondering how long does it last. If Elk Urine Spray is lasting a lot longer (10 in game min), maybe 30 sec in real time?

We pray for safety one and all,
We pray we may return next fall.

You mean the effect on the animal being called? If so, I think I heard in one of these fellow's videos, or read here somewhere, that it varies by species. For example, I think a Whitetail will come to a call for 10 minutes in game. And I think the in game time for scent sprays is 20 minutes. (Yes, just confirmed this.)

As far as I know, most calls will make the animal approach for 11 in-game minutes (don't ask me where that number is from, but I read it somewhere in the forums or in the wiki ages ago). You have to call more often for moose, elk, red deer and turkey, somewhere between every 3 to 6 in-game minutes I think. And yes, scents should last for 20 in-game minutes.

A single call lasts ca. 11 game minutes for small and medium-sized deer (roe, whitetail, blacktail, mule). It lasts shorter for elk (ca. game 4 mins), and very short only (ca. 2 game mins) for moose!

Turkey I never checked latey; effect could be a little longer than elk.

Note that also pigs (feral and wild) and dogs (yote, fox) can be acoustically lured; in my experience the call effect is clearly shorter than 11 min for pigs, but pretty much exactly 11 min for dogs.

So, the system has become a little more complicated and differentiated over time.

True for sprays, it's 20 in game minutes, I thought it was less.

Good to know which species can't be overcalled.

I put my tent 350m north on the bank of the river to save camping supplies but found if i go west to where i hit the hill on the huntermate, i find a herd of blacktail, then go south usually find a moose or a lone elk then go east to the tower and wait for some elk i can get quite a few animals in less than 15m. My path makes a [ shape.
