A recent read of the 2021 Old Farmer’s Almanac enlightened me to the fact that the full moon in July is the “buck moon.” I might have already known this and simply forgotten, as I’ve never been one to know the name of the full moon during every month of the year, however, I do enjoy reading and hearing about it and, occasionally, answering that question when asked.
Why exactly does the Almanac say the July full moon is the buck moon? The Almanac states that in July, the antlers of a male deer (bucks) are in full-growth and can be spotted from a distance in the moonlight, which makes perfect sense to me. However, other names also describe the full moon in July perfectly, such as thunder moon, salmon moon, and raspberry moon. Every name is appropriate in their own right.
