For duck hunting though, they still use shotguns because the ducks take to the sky and they blast them out. John Campbell aka “ The Arizona Bushman ,” survival expert, author and knifemaker : In the old days, I guess a shotgun would be fine for a rabbit, but I always use a 22 - that way you don’t get all those pellets in your meat. On Whether Elmer Fudd Should Even Have Been Using a Shotgun So, away we go, here’s what all those Looney Tunes hunters have been doing wrong. Coyote, who is constantly foiled by that tasty-looking roadrunner, and the Chicken Hawk, who can never seem to distinguish between a dog and a chicken.

Same goes for the other two hunters in the Looney Tunes Hall of Fame, namely Wile E. While we’re on the subject though, I wanted to ask some hunters what exactly Elmer Fudd has been doing wrong all these years, and why he constantly finds himself the butt of the joke. Seriously Chuck, Elmer Fudd is not helping your case - probably best to just let this one go. Mine won't be so easy.īut, Chuck, objectively speaking, isn’t Elmer Fudd just about the worst mascot for the Second Amendment ever? He’s an absolute moron, he never practices gun safety, he’s regularly tricked by his own prey, and despite being on their trail for over 80 years, he’s never bagged Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck.

You took the shotgun away from Elmer Fudd. That’s the takeaway for many about the premiere of the new Looney Tunes shorts on HBO Max, and some people are royally pissed about it, including game-show-host-turned-right-wing-pundit Chuck Woolery.
