I have had best success calling in short intervals with around 3 to 10 whines on the call with about 5 to 10 second gaps then starting up again. I always get inpatient and don't call long enough. Don't give up. Stay calling an area for a minimal amount of 45 minutes. I have had success in my areas using a fawn distress. But will start venturing out and using other calls in the future. The only reason I stop is to quickly listen to what's coming. My areas are generally really thick so I have had the same issues as you with some holding up. And if a have a good area to glass I start out by glassing the area over first before calling. In my years of calling I have had way more failures than success calling them in but I consider the failures a learning experience for future hunts.
