RE: Utah hunting
Southern Utah still probably has better deer hunting than Northern. If you know the Richfield then you're off to good start. Down by Zions is pretty good. Did you have any other areas in mind that you know down there? If I knew what areas you know I might be able to steer you in the right direction
What type of elk hunting are you looking for? In the Richfield area they have either general spike only hunts or limited entry hunts. The limited entry hunts are still tough to get. Usually take 10-12 points to draw on points. Of course in Utah only 50% of the tags are given out to those with the most points and the other 50% are on a lottery system so you could draw any year.
