The closest I can get is by doing a soft kee and gurgling your throat in reverse.  It's an inhale gargle if that makes sense.  I don't use it when hunting with a trumpet and never needed it.  Just me.

Yeah, I'm starting to realize it's mostly impossible for the average guy. I just hunt with them, thought maybe I could just take my trumpet nothing else. But I wouldn't want to limit my self to clucks and yelps. I searched some of the old posts they say the same kind of thing you said. Thanks for your advice.

I have been making trumpets and going to shows for over 20 years and I can count on one hand the people that can purr on a trumpet or wingbone.

John DangerfieldII may be able to help you. He is the only one  I know that can purr on one.

My half a$$ trumpet yelp works so well I haven’t needed to purr yet in the woods, but I’m working on a purr. The best way I can describe it is I’m vibrating the back of my throat while drawing sharply.

When I was about to listen to Dangerfield's trumpet purr, I was expected some general approximation. Dang if he doesn't sound near perfect. I'm not anywhere resembling dedicated enough to learn that.

It's a lot easier to just carry a Frictionwood; no practice necessary.

Bob, not sure that is a contented purr at that. I've heard a few purr but it is more of an aggressive purr.
Whines are a lot easier to make on a trumpet, wingbone or yelper! Never seen the need for a purr on one, if he's that close, he should be dead!

This.

I can purr somewhat realistically on a trumpet. It takes lots of practice and being consistent in the field is hard for me. Trumpets are best suited for clucks, yelps, cutts and even kee keeing if desired.

Dangerfield and Patrick Gamble are the two best I have heard in person with a trumpet- on every call that can be made with one.

I find that the purr is best made with tongue movement. If you practice long enough, it will click one day- but it's not easy to master.
