    • Quotes

      Bugs: Say, doc, are you trying to get yourself in trouble with the law? This ain't wabbit huntin' season.

      Elmer Fudd: It's not?

      Bugs: No, it's duck huntin' season.

      Daffy: That, sir, is an in-mitigated frab-rication. It's wabbit season.

      Bugs: Duck season.

      Daffy: Wabbit season.

      Bugs: Duck season.

      Daffy: Wabbit season.

      Bugs: Duck season.

      Daffy: Wabbit season.

      Bugs: Wabbit season.

      Daffy: Duck season.

      Bugs: Wabbit season.

      Daffy: I say it's duck season. And I say fire!

    • Alternate versions
      Some network TV airings of this cartoon have altered the scene where Elmer shoots Daffy, and Daffy's bill spins. This version cuts from Elmer pointing the gun to a shot of Daffy's bill spinning. The syndicated prints shown on TNT and Cartoon Network in the 1980s and early 1990s do not eliminate the shooting of the gun. Instead, there is a freeze frame (from another part of the cartoon) showing some scenery. The gun shot is heard, and then there is a cut back to Daffy's bill spinning. Today, when this cartoon is shown on TV, nothing is changed or cut out.

    Ever so slightly better than "Rabbit Seasoning"
    If you ask Looney Tunes fans, I predict the vote would be even with regards to which is better: this or "Rabbit Seasoning". My vote goes to this one but "Rabbit Seasoning" is also excellent. They compliment each other very well. The verbal interplay is great, the elephant bit is inspired as well as unexpected and the ending is very clever.
