I had an 011 tag in 2011 and it ended up being a much harder hunt than I expected. I only saw one pronghorn that would reach the 15" mark. We were there for two weeks too. When I'm eligible again I'm going to look toward a different unit.

015 is an interesting unit with potential for a giant buck. I've hunted the unit a fair bit over the years, and it is some of my favorite country. BUT, that being said, I drew a pronghorn tag in 015 in 2013, with 15 or 16 points then. I scouted areas where I've seen big bucks over the years and... NOTHING. After 4 days of scouting, the biggest buck I found was 13", so I turned my tag back in to save my points. An acquaintance who had the tag that year hunted over a week and shot a <13" buck.

I love 015, know it well, but it is not on my application for anything this year.
