I have always wondered why the larger, low, orange moon is always called a Hunter's Moon? Can someone explain how it might have gotten it's name, or if there really is a scientific meaning to the term??

Yeah, its probably easier to see and hunt during a full moon.<br />-Do a search for "moon phases" and "moon folklore" <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <div>________________________________________ <br /></div><div><ul><li><font color="#008000"><em>your move...</em></font></li></ul></div> </div>

October: Full "Hunters" or "Blood" Moon (defined as the first full moon following the harvest moon; from hunting practice of riding over the stubble of reaped grain fields pursuing foxes by the light of the moon.); also Full Travel Moon, Full Dying Grass Moon.<br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.
