I'd like to tincture the glands for lure-making, but don't know how. I've heard some things (mineral oil) ruins them. Don't know how to do it right. Help appreciated...

I have tested this with mink carcasses already. Weasels should be just as good or better? Something to think about.

Alan Probst with North American Trapper has a great video on YouTube on processing weasels / weasel glands for tinctures. Conservation begins on the trapline.
