Per their Facebook page...
Ok Sleepy Creek Fans:
Here it is:
SCM is closing the doors June 30th, 2019. Now there are plenty of Sleepy Creeks at our Distributors, MTP, Sterling Fur, Funke Trap Tags, Murray Lures, FnT and many more dealers.
Allen Sayre with Funke Trap Tags has purchased from us and is making the following: Trap Setters, Stretchers, Inline Shock Springs, Trap Dye, Double Stake Swivels. My wish is that y'all support him as much as y'all did us!
Hugs n right chains!
Nancy

I'd like to get a 4 1/2 double, just to put on the shelf.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

I have been worried that we might lose all our US manufacturers during this period when low fur prices have greatly reduced the numbers of people trapping and buying new equipment. If we were to lose more, we might never get folks back making traps in the US. Nailed it! Chris

Love the S.C. 1.75 regular jaw, round pan, coil...Stocked up over the last couple of years...Best reasonably priced eastern multi-species trap I've found, made in the U.S.A. and high quality steel.
Even though it's called a 1.75, it's really a #2
Have a great retirement Nancy,
...I'll miss you, and SCM at Berkely Springs, WV.

They made the best #11 in my opinion. I'll be picking a few up, can't have too many #11's anyways.
I trap for fun. I skin 'em for the money!

I still have a few milk crates full and will probably latch onto anymore I see, just in case coon is king again some day. Hate to see the doors closed and hope the best for those that are moving onto new ventures.

Sleepy creek 1.5 is a good rat trap for setting in pushups. I’ve caught a whole bunch of fox and lynx in them too.

I knew the last time I spoke with Nancy I should have ordered a few "Red" specials. I hope it's not to late.

I have a dozen 4 1/2 double longsprings that I like for beaver. Sorry to hear they are closing up shop.
