Baiting mink

[bill9044]

Do mink like tainted muskrat? I tainted a muskrat carcas that I had from last season. Once it smelled I froze it chopped into 1/3s. I just placed the muskrat in some pockets by my river just to pre bait. There what looks to be mink tracks around but not going into eat on the tainted rat in the hole. Should I use fish or fresh rat? I am not trapping I am just pre baiting to ensure I have mink then once in prime place out the traps. Any help would be great. Here is another pic of the tracks



I am under the impression that these are mink tracks. Although I am far from an expert on mink.

Thanks
