I can't but Mr. John Dangerfield can and it sounds real good. He makes trumpet calls as well.

John Dangerfield can, and as convincing as a turkey can.

Is there a video of this Mr. Dangerfield? After today my curiosity is getting to me when it comes to these style calls.

I lightly suck on the mouthpiece and shake the trumpet quickly forward and away. this for me is a much quicker fluttering effect than when using your lower jaw. I gobble on a trumpet much the same way.
