The primary hunting destinations for Pinkfoot Geese are the UK, particularly Scotland and parts of Scandinavia. They're also hunted in their wintering grounds across Europe.
The best time to hunt Pinkfoot Geese is during their migration and wintering periods, typically between October and February, when they are most abundant in their wintering grounds.
