Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe producers' reaction to the gag of Bugs responding to a hunter pointing a gun at him with a confident casual remark, "What's up, Doc?" was so favorable that they decided to make that a standard element of future films featuring the character.
- GoofsAfter Bugs ties up Elmer's shotgun and Elmer throws it away he then starts digging. Bugs comes up from his other hole, saying his first time ever "Eh Whats up Doc?" then Elmer says "I am looking for a Wabbit". Bugs starts describing a rabbit and during a close up When Elmer realized Bugs is a rabbit he us holding the shotgun again, next panel it's gone again.

- Crazy creditsIn the 1944 Blue Ribbon reissue of this cartoon, when the WB shield zooms in the copyright notice briefly says MCMXLIV(1944) for a fraction of a second before changing to MCMXL(1940)!
- Alternate versionsWhen the cartoon was re-released as a Blue Ribbon re-issue, it was inadvertently retitled "The Wild Hare." Also, one of the names Elmer Fudd guesses was changed from Carole Lombard, who had recently died in a plane crash, to Barbara Stanwyck.

Featured review
This is my third favorite cartoon, only beat by Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers and Duck Amuck. It manages to feel newer than the shorts where Elmer is fat, due to having Elmer's final design. It also has value that makes this based, introducing Bugs.
