It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

It would certainly have helped him if he knew how to writer or at least how to spell like Bugs does. This is a short cartoon movie from over 60 years ago and like most of these it runs for roughly 7 minutes. It is definitely one of the more famous Warner Bros. short films starring Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny. Both are voiced of course again by Mel Blanc and he and the writer Michael Maltese and director Chuck Jones are easily among the most prolific trios in terms of filmmaking.It's hunting season, but who gets hunted. Well.. Daffy does, but he does his best to make it look like everybody except ducks are hunted that time of the year. Unfortunately, Bugs is not willing to pose as a target for Elmer Fudd's shooting escapades and that's truly bad news for Daffy. In this short movie, unlike in most of the others, Fudd is really just an instrument for the two to go against each other, well really only for going against Daffy. And right when it looks like there is a happy ending even for the duck, things get really bad for him again. Solid short movie. Pretty entertaining, but not great by any means. Recommended.

This is the last episode of the "Hunting Trilogy" three Looney Tunes episodes with a similar theme. Like in the last two of the trilogy, "Rabbit Fire" and "Rabbit Seasoning", Elmer is hunting and Daffy "shows" him the way to Bugs Bunny so the rabbit can be killed. For some reason Bugs Bunny just about never is shot, but Daffy is (because these are cartoon he always survives, for which we should be grateful). In this particular episode it is winter and Daffy calls himself a lot of animals, then Bunny shows a "Season sign" for the animal, so Daffy is then shot by Elmer. Like the first one is:Daffy: Well, I guess I'm the goat. (Bugs shows "Goat season sign" and Elmer points his gun at Daffy.) Daffy: What? (Elmer shoots Daffy.)This is personally not my favourite of the trilogy. The animation is quite ugly (when Daffy is shot) and I prefer the theme of the jokes in "Rabbit Fire" and "Rabbit Seasoning". The Season sign theme is quite repetitive; funny the first few times, but it just becomes boring after a while. However, this episode is quite well worth watching, despite its slight flaws.I recommend this to anyone who likes the greedy, cynical Daffy Duck best and people who like to see Bugs Bunny have his own way. For people who do not like slapstick all that much and for people who prefer the older, crazier black duck, this episode I do not specifically recommend to you and if you do want to watch it, you may not want to rewatch it.Enjoy "Duck! Rabbit, Duck!"7 and a half out of ten.

The third and last film of the "Hunting trilogy" (the other two being on Volume 1 of the Golden Collection), features Elmer once again hunting, but not knowing what season it is. Bugs plays with that holding up signs telling Elmer that it's various animal seasons and getting him to shoot Daffy over and over. You know what? That plot doesn't even begin to tell you how genius, how utterly hilarious, and how classic this cartoon truly is. Just know this. The other two were amazing hilarious, yes..but THIS is the absolute best of the three. It's just THAT good. This animated short can be found on Disk 1 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 3 and includes an optional commentary by Eric Goldberg, as well as a music only track and a Behind the scenes featurette.My Grade: A+++

...lies a 10/10 classic. Do you recall watching shorts like this? I still do, and so do most of you. This is basically in the woods where Elmer is hunting and threatens Bugs with his "elephant gun" until Daffy comes along and Elmer is too dazed to decide who to shoot and come home with. Simple but effective.
