Daffy Duck Hunt is a 1949 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon, directed by Robert McKimson.[1] The cartoon was released on March 26, 1949, and stars Daffy Duck, Porky Pig and Barnyard Dawg.[2]

Plot

Porky and Barnyard Dawg are out hunting ducks, with Daffy Duck as their target. Daffy, however, turns the tables on them by sabotaging their gunpowder and taunting them mercilessly. Porky's attempts to capture Daffy are continually thwarted, leading to chaotic antics involving a deep freeze, mistaken identities, and a comical struggle for dominance.

As Porky and the dog become increasingly frustrated with Daffy's antics, their attempts to contain him escalate to absurd levels. Eventually, Daffy's antics culminate in a surprise appearance dressed as Santa Claus, leading to a humorous confrontation that ends with a clever twist involving a "Do not open 'till Xmas" stamp and Daffy's confident assurance that he will find a way out of the predicament.[3][4][5][6]
