The Hunter's moon is Friday, Oct. 18. The moon will rise right at sunset and persist through the night to sunrise. Since it creates great lighting, apparently it allows night time hunting for aboriginals.
The Harvest moon, Sept. 19 this year, is defined as the full moon closest to fall equinox, Sept 22 this year. Thus, by definition, the Hunter's moon is the first moon past the Harvest moon.
The Hunter's moon should allow you to see deer and moose on the road slightly better. Make sure you have comprehensive insurance on your vehicle in case of an accident.
An aside to fisherpeople. According to moon folklore, Oct. 4-18 are the best for fishing.
An aside to ATVers. If stopped by a conservation officer, you should have a licence plate and be able to prove insurance and ownership if stopped outside your property.
