Instead of mink lure, buy gerald schmidt's two books on mink and then buy a couple cans of pink salmon at the dollar store on the way home.

Now there is an actual real live excellent tip on trapping mink.
Mink lure works best for lure makers.

I use mink lure at some of my coyote sets. Nice change up and it works.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

As mentioned earlier, buy Gerald's books, all the info to catch mink is in there.

Use weasel gland, it works great.


The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.

Muskrat glands work well for me.I usually smear some in a culvert and basicly blind set.Lure is not directly at the trap.

I believe your missing mink if you don't utilize mink lure on your line, and I'm a die-hard blind setter.

Lennons is the favorite one for me of the ones I've used. I did try some home brew a fella gave me to try that did well in pocket sets that, I had stopped using because I could do better with blind sets near a dab of lure.
