WE - I've never skinned a mink, but here's a discussion on it on a beginners taxidermy forum. http://www.taxidermy.net/forums/BeginnersArticles/03/d/03C4CC5E4A.html

Be careful! Mink have a musk gland. That stuff stays with ya longer than skunk does. I really wish I had asked someone before I skinned out my first one.
