Bosko's Fox Hunt is the fifteenth title in the Looney Tunes series featuring Bosko[1] It was released on December 3, 1931.[2][a] It is directed by Hugh Harman,[3] and the film score was composed by Frank Marsales.

The cartoon's plot is somewhat similar to that of the later Looney Tunes cartoons Porky's Duck Hunt (1937) and Porky's Hare Hunt (1938).

Plot

A gang of male animals set out on a fox hunt equipped with guns, horses and hounds; however, a fox evades them. The fox is discovered by Bosko and his dog, Bruno, who are out hunting foxes as well. The fox successfully evades Bosko and Bruno's attempts to catch or shoot him. Eventually, the two hunters are chased by a large mammoth-like creature, or maybe a wild boar, and fall in a heap on the ground, ending the film.
