Good Greene County hunting land research starts with one question: whose ground is it? That's true for a woodlot near Durham and for a field edge outside Catskill. In Greene County, New York, the official parcel map is the free way to put an owner on a tract.
Below: finding owners on the Greene County map, public ground in and near the county, asking permission the right way, and where New York hunting rules are published.
How to use the Greene County hunting land
The NYS Tax Parcels Public layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer is the free tool for Greene County hunting land scouting: imagery lists cover and water, parcel lines display who owns each block near Jefferson Heights. Big ownership blocks near Coxsackie mean fewer letters to write; small splits mean more neighbors to ask.
Finding the tract on the Greene County map
For Greene County, the free public parcel layer is state-run: open the NYS Tax Parcels Public layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer and pan to Athens.

Offer the titleholder near Jefferson Heights something useful: a copy of your license, proof of insurance if you lease, and a promise to report problems you see. Trespass rules vary by state, so check New York law before assuming unposted land near Coxsackie is open.
