Starting out as a variation on Daffy Duck's debut cartoon, 'Porky's Duck Hunt', Robert McKimson's 'Daffy Duck Hunt' quickly develops into something quite different. McKimson's Barnyard Dog character from the Foghorn Leghorn cartoons plays the role of Porky's hunting dog who tricks Daffy into surrendering on the understanding that he'll let him go when they get home. This plot development is almost immediate, meaning the majority of the cartoon is unexpectedly set in Porky's kitchen. A late example of the crazy version of Daffy at work, 'Daffy Duck Hunt' is one of McKimson's greatest cartoons. Daffy is on top form, making up for his early duping with some inspired zaniness which invariably lands the dog in trouble with his master. McKimson overcomes the possibility of a cartoon set in a kitchen becoming dull by virtue of some extremely lively animation to compliment Warren Foster's brilliant script. All in all, 'Daffy Duck Hunt' is a thoroughly unexpected classic full of brilliant moments and an especially energetic Daffy performance.

I really enjoyed Daffy Duck Hunt, even if it is a little uneven at times. The first four minutes are absolutely hilarious, with razor-sharp dialogue and hysterical visual gags. The last half or so is still entertaining, but one or jokes aren't as well timed and come off as predictable. The animation is absolutely excellent, as is the music. Plus Mel Blanc's characterisations as Daffy, Porky and Barnyard Dog are simply brilliant! Daffy himself is still his outrageous and manic self, and man isn't he hysterical here? The end line and the part with the can can especially had me in stitches. Porky once again isn't given as much to do, but he is solid, and Barnyard Dog is a worthy foil here. Overall, hugely enjoyable, uneven at times, but it is still very funny and Daffy is stellar. 9/10 Bethany Cox

I think this is the only short where The barnyard dog does not co star with Foghorn Leghorn. I like it when daffy calls the dog lassie. I find the plot where daffy is making noise in order to get porky's attention to the pluto cartoon 'Pantry Pirate'. I like the ending where the iris closes on daffys eye.

In the late '40s and early '50s while Chuck Jones was making Porky and Daffy cartoons that had the latter the "hero" while the former the "sidekick", Robert McKimson was bringing back the adversarial relationship they originally had when they first met in Tex Avery's Porky's Duck Hunt. This short is similar to that in that Porky is once again a hunter who's looking for ducks. Daffy, of course, becomes the target but because he emptied many bullet shells of pellets, the shooting Porky does won't hurt him. At this point, the dog makes a deal with the duck for him to surrender to him so his master won't throw him out. Many funny gags involving the duck and dog follow. And dig the holiday twist that ends this short. So on that note, I highly recommend Daffy Duck Hunt.

Porky is in the blinds duck hunting. Daffy sneaks up from behind and empties his shotgun shells, saying, "Duck hunters is the cwaziest people."

The cocky Daffy then flies overhead and announces, "Here I am, fat boy. Here's your target!" Then, even more of an outrageous scene, Daffy reappears in back of Porky, dons a frilly skirt and sings a can-can. He then "moons" the pig with a bullseye drawn on his butt (knowing the shells are blanks). Porky shoots, Daffy dramatically pretends he is hit, but flies away laughing. Porky is ticked off, to say the least!!! He sends his dog out after him.

The dog is smarter than Porky and fools Daffy and a couple more minutes of fantastic material is presented. The first four minutes of this seven-minute short are about as good as it gets. The last three minutes are so-so. Overall, still very entertaining.
