The Hunter's Moon
It is the next full moon after the harvest moon. In days of yore it gave hunters a chance to chase game all night by the light of the moon. First they harvested all night by the harvest moon and a month later hunted all night by the hunter's moon. All of this activity pointed to the end of Summer's plenty and the need to shore up provisions for the coming of Winter's harsh scarcity. That is the legend anyway.
