Murray's Lures & Trapping Mink Urine

Mink urine acts as a powerful cover scent. By introducing a natural, non-threatening odor to your trap site, it masks human scent and helps calm wary predators, making them less suspicious when they approach.

While it is specifically mink urine, it is highly effective for a variety of predator sets. Many trappers use it to create a natural scent profile that appeals to curiosity or simply masks the presence of the trapper, making it useful for targeting other small predators as well.

A little goes a long way. You can apply a few drops to a cotton ball, a piece of wool, or directly onto the ground near your trap. Focus on placing it upwind of your set so the scent carries naturally across the area.

Like most natural scents, the intensity of the aroma will decrease as temperatures drop because evaporation slows down. In freezing conditions, you may need to reapply more frequently or place the scent closer to the trap to ensure it remains detectable.

Yes, it is often used in combination with other baits or lures. Using mink urine as a cover scent alongside a food-based lure can create a more realistic, multi-layered scent profile that draws animals in while keeping them relaxed.
