About this unit
Sign in to contributeGrant County occupies the rolling hills of northern Kentucky where the South Fork Licking River winds through agricultural bottomlands that attract and hold whitetails year-round. The county sits at the ecological transition between the Bluegrass plateau and more rugged terrain to the north, giving hunters a mix of open farm country and wooded ridgelines. Turkey populations are healthy, and the county's proximity to the Ohio River corridor supports a diverse small game community.
Rolling hills, South Fork Licking River bottomlands, mixed hardwood timber and agricultural fields
Primarily private land; Licking River corridor offers some permission opportunities; limited public tracts
Moderate - close proximity to Cincinnati metro brings pressure from non-resident hunters, but large private farms absorb much of the demand
OTC; standard Kentucky bag limits apply; no antler restrictions
Turkey hunting is productive along wooded creek drainages; small game hunting for squirrel and rabbit remains popular in wooded river bottoms
South Licking River bottomlands are a classic central Kentucky deer destination; the county agricultural base supports a consistent deer herd with above-average body weights
