Random info: The Meaning Behind the Name Hunter's Moon
The October Full Moon is observed at a time that is perfect for hunting animals. This is because most mammals and birds eat a lot and fatten themselves to prepare for the upcoming winter which stays for a long duration. This is the peak time for their growth so they are usually meatier.
The bright Hunter's Full Moon allowed for easy hunting of the prey. Men hunted, slaughtered, and stocked up animal meat for survival to prepare for the harsh winters during this time.
The Harvest Moon, which precedes Hunter's moon, was the time when farmers harvested their crops, clearing the field. Thus, the following month was even more ideal for hunting. This was because men could spot deer and other animals, who had come to find something to eat in the open fields.
Origin of the name Hunter's Moon
It is believed that the North American Algonquin Tribe was the one who named the October Full Moon Hunter's Moon. As per the Oxford Dictionary, the term 'Hunter's Moon' was first used in 1710.
