For the most part this short is just your basic, standard Bugs vs. hunter cartoon fair and not the greatest example of one either (and Elmer’s nowhere in sight). Bugs encounters the antagonist, bamboozling them his wiles, you know the score. In this short case there happens to be two antagonists, but they don’t get much further than any other character who has tried their hand at shooting a certain bunny.

To me, it is quite dull and predictable, that is until the square dance number, which saves the short from being completely mediocre – if only somewhat. With lines like “Grab that fence post, hold it tight, whack your partner with all your might” and other absurd lyrics and goings on this is good fun to watch; in fact it’s the only reason to watch. Fortunate then that the square dance is the centrepiece and takes up almost half the short's total length.

This short apparently has had problems in the past with it stereotyping of rednecks. Ultimately for me the bigger problem is that - dance number aside - the short really isn’t all that funny or memorable, and gags and the like are generally why I watch Looney Tunes. There are many, much better Bugs cartoons to watch than this one.

This is a great Bugs Bunny cartoon directed by Bob McKimson; along with:

· "Acrobatty Bunny" from 1946,
· "Hurdy-Gurdy Hare" from the same year this short is made in - 1950,
· "Rabbit's Kin" from 1952 (with Stan Freberg again as Pete Puma this time),and...
· "Wet Hare" from 1962

Mel Blanc & Stan Freberg were great as the two hillbilly brothers,Curt & Pumpkinhead Martin, not to be mean but I thought a Hillbilly's speech inpediment is funny. The best scene (to me) in this cartoon,is the square dance scene where Bugs makes up a hilarious square dance ditty :

"Whomp him low! and Whomp him high! stick your finger in his eye!" Something like that.
