What is it called the Hunters Moon?
It is believed that this full Moon came to be called the full Hunter’s Moon because it signaled the time to go hunting in preparation for the cold winter ahead. Animals are beginning to fatten up ahead of winter, and since the farmers had recently cleaned out their fields under the Harvest Moon, hunters could easily see the deer and other animals that had come out to root through the remaining scraps (as well as the foxes and wolves that had come out to prey on them).
The earliest use of the term “Hunter’s Moon,” cited in the Oxford English Dictionary, is from 1710. Some sources suggest that other names for the Hunter’s Moon are the Sanguine or Blood Moon, either associated with the blood from hunting or the color of the changing autumn leaves.

"San Diego is absolutely beautiful but even as a native, I don't always have the inside scoop. Hiking with Maria has become a spiritual event, even for this atheist. The lunar treks are 100% magic and I highly recommend everyone make the trip at least once." - Gillian Levi
