i think they nerfed it
but before they did if a kraty or elder spawned you could tant it till you got it 250m away from ware it spawned, if you did that a 2nd one would repawn in the same place as the 1st

before the spawn upgrade/increase I know with elders atleast you could agro just the elder in a spawn. Pull her about 100 meters away and DONT kill any of the protectors ,weavers and sentinals and you can get 7-10 elders from one random spawn. NOW i have heard the samething works with canyons and juvi as in if you dont kill the juvi then the canyon will spawn more. I have not verified this and as far as the elders are concerned I have not killed a random spawn elder since before the last phase 3 start

I don't think the infinite way of milking works any more. I saw a nova trooper, I am imp, and I wanted to see who would win, him, or a krayt. So I start draging a giant over to him. He is about 400m away. At about 300m, the Krayt poofs, and it counted toward the spawn limit, so I don't think that method works any more.
There is a way to get the most out of a spawn however. Say you have the following: 1 Elder, 1 Protector, 2 SpellWeavers, and a Sentinal. If you kill the Elder, then leave the other 4 alone, wait untill a new Elder spawns, then repeat, you can get up to 15 elders out of a spawn. The Key is to not toutch the other members of a spawn. You can do this with krayts as well. Leave the Juves alone. Only kill the Canyons and you will spawn 5 instead of 3. As you are fighting the 5th, go kill the Juve as well, because once the Canyon dies, the Juve will disapear because the spawn is done.

i regularly get 25+ elders per spawn, from clever spawn management.

Indeed. Same here. Best way to pull elders from a group is with a pet. Target at 100m, send pet to attack it. 9/10 the elder will agro you and run towards you, with her mates leaving you alone. Like Darmz says you can regularly get 20-25 from a spawn this way.
