What is the best way to hold the mink musk so the musk odor won't die off over time?
Common sense catches alot of fur.. Pay homage to all you harvest..

good question! I know theres a wide variation in how mink glands smell from commercial dealers. I've smelled a few that no more resembled mink than chicken feet! My guess is they was ground up scrotums. Every thing ive read says don't grind them until just before using. I can never collect enough to ever get a opportunity to play with them. But definitely helps a predator attractant

What is the best way to hold the mink musk so the musk odor won't die off over time? Don't use sodium benzoate to preserve. Use salt with a little glycerine oil. Then put in a freezer. Best way I've found to carry over mink glands and keep them from freezer burn. Funky odor mink glands is a result of sodium benzoate. Learned that the hard way long ago.

Andy do you feel as if the odd smell affects there overall performance? OR Due to their chemical make-up still being present. A nonissue

Meat Grinder, make sure to wear safety glasses or they will squirt you in the eye. Mink glands will definitely clear ones sinuses. AND A BARF BAG!!!

I have just recently discovered a material that holds the strong mink odor and will not fade out. Secret of course LMAO. What is the purpose of that post?
