At one time, ALL the gunfire except for the one fired while we see Daffy's feet then the beak falls to the ground (figure that one out) was edited out when this one aired Saturday mornings. That was peculiar. Even then, it made for hilarious viewing. That trumpeting with each sign just makes you stare in disbelief at what is going on. How each declaration Daffy makes comes back to haunt him and drive him to his breaking point. Even the revelation about molasses used to get our attention when we were little. This is a winner, hands down.

The synopsis here is correct, but no where near describes the wonderful interplay between Buggs, Daffy each trying trick Elmer into shooting the other with Daffy getting his every time. From Elmer's opening, "Shhhh, I'm hunting waaabbits!" to the closing "It's baseball season" its a classic example of comedic timing worthy of any of the great comedy teams of the forties. Though this cartoon has been used as an example of the violence in cartoons, much of the delight is seeing how many times they can streatch and top the same gag of Daffy getting shot as they come to decide it's Duck Season. It's a total delight!
