The Old Farmer's Almanac, which began publishing full moon names in the 1930s, says some Native American tribes called July's full moon the "buck moon" because it occurs in early summer, when male deer (bucks) typically begin growing new antlers covered in velvety fur.

All hail the holy grind — the full buck moon in Capricorn is upon us. The full buck moon will rise on Thursday, July 10, reaching peak illumination at 4:37 P.M. Eastern Time at 18 degrees of Capricorn.
