About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedGrant 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
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
