The hunter’s moon name originates from the traditional hunting season, as the brighter lunar light allowed hunters to track and gather game in preparation for the frigid days and nights of the winter to come.
According to the Farmer's Almanac, October marked the season in the Northern Hemisphere, where the falling leaves and lasting moonlight made it easier to see and hunt animals at night and the brush is not as thick making hunting and tracking easier
In the mid-to late fall when animals are fattened off the late summer harvest, game animals, like deer, turkey and pheasants are traditionally hunted.
The term, hunter's moon traces back to 1710, albeit it is also known as sanguine or blood moon, also referencing to hunting or the color of changing autumn leaves.
