You can't make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them, and hope they panic and give in.

Mink usually don't do this! It's probably a coon. I would try moving the trap,either in deeper or on his way to the set. If you do find that it is a mink, try fencing him down more.
I have had this problem with coon destroying a mink cubby set before and found that by moving the trap out of the entrance to the side of the hole that is being tore up. On several ocassions I have set the second trap just at the othe other side of the hole. You still have the baited cubby, but in essence you have turned your set into a double blind set. Make sure that both traps are bedded firmly.
