Where are you seeing Sleepy Creek stretchers for sale? Any chance you are looking at the old website before they closed and sold the business? Anyway, if you can find the #4's they are an excellent stretcher, strong wire and good hooks. The don't work well for smaller coon, lg. and down, but I doubt you ever see any that small where you are located.

I see the #23, awful narrow for raccoon except some tiny ones. I'm guessing that is inventory on hand since before the change in owners. Maybe the new owners have started making stretchers already, seems like they'd get more of the different traps in production first?

Thanks for the replies everyone. I found them available from "Hilltop Outdoors" website. I guess I wasn't aware that the company was going through some transitions. I will try the #4's. I think 6 of them is like $40. Used would be an option too, but it seems like they don't come up for sale very often locally, and shipping is a killer.
I did think about making my own, but with the price of lumber, it'd just about be a wash and I would have to put the time in. Not a big deal to save some coin, but I couldn't get it to pencil out I guess.

It is rough cut but with a band saw so not to rough.
