Sorry, will mink musk attract other mink. I would think so not sure. Was going to save the glands.

I ran a lot of unbated pocket sets and after a mink catch odds were good that I would get several more mink in that pocket That was my experience too.

In the Trapperman Book Volume II there's is a good article by Tim “fossil2” Sawatzky, who catches more mink in a season than 90% will ever see in our lives, so his advice should be listened to.
"After each catch of a mink, the scent glands are squeezed and the musk applied to the bank over the set. I’ve never seen this repel a mink of any age or sex, and I’ve had great success with it as an attractant for both coon and rats as well.

I tried Gerald Smith's method of mixing my fish chunk baits with mink glands from the previous year for bait in my pocket sets when I use them and h a d good luck with that method.

It sure is strong! The first mink I shkinned I was wondering when the smell would come that people were talking about. The second one I went a lil deep on the initial cut. You’d think it’d be good for some kinda lure!

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

Ack, seeing you are at 90 I think you will make the century mark. Way to go.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.
