hunter's moon
Post-harvest lunar phase
Hunter's moon is the full moon following the harvest moon—typically in October in the Northern Hemisphere.
Like the harvest moon, it rises soon after sunset, extending the hours of bright moonlight.
The name reflects the traditional timing for hunting game fattened on fallen grain before winter: The hunter's moon lit up the fields.
