A lot of good lures have mink musk formulated in them, and have produced Thousands of animals for me.

Are you talking mink lures or lures in general like k9 and cat lures?

blackies blend brown buck

j.r.&sons , i think its midnight mink .

dave edwards , certified mink seed .

o'gormans , iowa longliner ( a j.curtis grigg mink lure )

clam oil

alligator oil

muskrat blood

i beleive there is a difference in the way a mink reacts to a minky lure and a set thats caught a mink . as has been mentioned , a set thats made a catch has odors other than mink musk , urine, feces , pheromones , other glandular secretions , stomach fluids and bile, etc.

stuff that we can't really smell within the mink musk but a mink sure can.

i also beleive a mink can tell the difference between mink musk from wild caught mink and mink musk bought from lure ingredient suppliers ( that being from ranch raised mink ) .

asa and or others who make lure , where does your mink glands you use come from ? wild caught or ranch mink ? or do you really know . i would have to guess that the vast majority of mink glands sold comes from ranch raised mink .


as far as knowing if a mink spooks , i've done what randy does but not to the extent i know that he does . i have based it on knowing where i caught a mink and knowing that it had to pass, go around , avoid , other sets in order to be caught where it was.not exact science but by using educated guess's based on this , things pay off for me.

as i mentioned before a faint odor of mink i think is good , a set thats made a catch and aged a day or 2 .

pure mink musk in a set , too strong for mink in my book but coons love it. bank walking fox and yotes will too.

when it all comes down to it , i prefer to catch them in bottom edge sets, conibears in trails and blind sets/pocket sets with footholds and no bait or lure.
