Firkins at Full Moon in November 2025

November’s full Moon is called the Beaver Moon, because beavers are particularly active at this time of year as they prepare for the winter months ahead.

Another interpretation is that Native American tribes would set beaver traps before the swamps froze, ensuring a supply of warm winter furs.
