Hunters looking at Pulaski County hunting land typically want two things: where the public ground is, and who owns the private tracts next to it near Ferguson. In Pulaski County, Kentucky, the official parcel map is the free way to put an owner on a tract.
Below: finding owners on the Pulaski County map, public ground in and near the county, asking permission the right way, and where Kentucky hunting rules are published.
Scouting Pulaski County hunting land on the parcel map
The Pulaski County Beacon site is the free tool for Pulaski County hunting land scouting: imagery lists cover and water, parcel lines show who owns each block near Antioch. Write down the parcel ID, owner name and mailing address for each property near Burnside, then rank them by cover, access and size.
Step one: the free Pulaski County viewer
For land around Science Hill, open the Pulaski County Beacon site (Schneider Geospatial's Beacon platform); it is the map Pulaski County itself publishes. In the county version, the search page takes an owner, an address or a parcel ID, and each report links back to the map view for the property near Somerset. Our Pulaski County, KY page keeps the official link and the maps next door to Science Hill in one place.

Where Pulaski County land records are kept
For a property near Ferguson, the recorded documents sit with the county clerk and the parcel data with the Property Valuation Administrator (PVA).

Copy the parcel identifier and legal description from the county record well before you request a deed for land near Burnside.
Permission, leases and courtesy
A letter or a daytime visit to an owner near Burnside beats a cold call; name the county tract, the game and the dates. Trespass rules vary by state, so check Kentucky law before assuming unposted land near Eubank is open.
Picking tracts to ask about near Ferguson
Creek bottoms and fence-row cover near Eubank show clearly on the county imagery, and the parcel lines tell you who to ask about them. Owners near Ferguson change, so recheck the county record before each season's letters.
What Pulaski County owners want to hear
