Daffy finally goes completely insane, demanding "Shoot me again! I enjoy it! I love the smell of burnt feathers and gunpowder and cordite!" then holding up his fingers at the top of his head like the antlers of an elk and scuttling around sideways like a crab, shrieking that it is elk and fiddler crab season, respectively, and that Elmer should shoot him. Daffy (who has now instructed Elmer to "pay no more attention to no more signs, you're just gonna listen to me") sees him and says "Shoot the duck! Shoot the duck!" to which Elmer obliges by shooting the nearest duck - Daffy. Each presentation of the sign is accompanied by a brass fanfare of a fox hunting call, and is, of course, followed by a gunshot, after each shot, the irritated Daffy is forced to put his beak back in place.Īt one point, Bugs builds a snow rabbit image of himself and when Elmer blasts it, Bugs Bunny appears disguised as an angel which Elmer believes, to Daffy's total disgust.īugs then puts on a duck disguise.

Exasperated, Daffy writes out the proper hunting license but has to ask Bugs how to spell "fricasseeing". This enrages Daffy, who attempts to convince Elmer that Bugs is actually trying to fool Elmer and orders Elmer to shoot Bugs, prompting Elmer to regretfully point out that he does not have the proper license. However, Bugs is already prepared for Daffy's trick and attempts to convince Elmer not to shoot him because he is obviously an endangered species - a fricasseeing rabbit - and that Elmer does not have a license to shoot fricasseeing rabbits.īugs giving Daffy misinformation in Duck! Rabbit, Duck! Just as Bugs Bunny comes out of his rabbit hole, Elmer points the gun at him and declares that he got his "wabbit stew". Daffy lures Bugs Bunny out by asking for a cup of blackstrap molasses. Elmer is out hunting, and Daffy uses several signs to convince Elmer that it is rabbit season, making Elmer excited about "Fwesh wabbit stew!" just before Elmer follows a yellow line to Bugs' rabbit hole.
