If you have a hen or jake come right up to your calling, while the old boy is hanging back,and they start to alarm putt, just aggressively cutt over their alarmcalls. It's worked for me more than once over the years - sometimes relaxing the alarmed bird, and once in a blue moon,the gob I am after troll rights on in to see what all the discussion is about. Definitely worth trying as you have little to lose at that stage.
