Duck! Rabbit! Duck! (1953) ****

The conclusion of the Bugs-Daffy-Elmer trilogy, once again dominated by a hilarious game of one-upmanship. This time, when Daffy can't agree with Bugs if it's really a duck season, the smart rabbit tricks the dupe into saying something like "I guess I'm the goat/skunk/pigeon" and flashes a sign reading "goat/skunk/pigeon season opened". The poor duck is tired of having his beak blown in yet another direction and Bugs convinces Elmer that it's really a baseball season (predictably, the dim-witted hunter goes off shooting a baseball).
