For me, the distance makes a bigger difference than the intensity of our "conversation". If we're more than 100-150 yards apart, my chances of killing him drop quite a bit.
If your hunting birds that are getting hunted by other people on a regular basis I would say calling in one out of three would be an amazingly high success rate.
I'm only talking about the Toms that actively engage vocally back and forth. There are many more where I get a few gobbles but I'm not counting those types of encounters.
So I haved looked at our states average success rate which just includes everything, and that is around 25% annually. Could be week of bad weather, inexperienced/novice hunters and what not. Years ago while I was guiding I kept track of every turkey and tag, it was part of the guides way of promoting the business, at that time I was running a 90%+ success rate. I have always kept a detailed ledger/journal of my turkey hunts/hunting. Can't just measure success by kill numbers...Making Memories MK M GOBL
