Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis is the first Barney Bear cartoon directed by Dick Lundy, who previously did Caballero Droopy (1952) when Tex Avery took a break from MGM. However, Lundy was an animation director when he previously worked directing Walt Disney and Walter Lantz shorts from 1939 to 1951.
- GoofsRule One of Duck Shooting Rules & Regulations is shown on the first page, but when the duck shows Barney Bear Rule 2, he turns to a page in the 2nd half of the book. Then, in a closeup of the book in Barney's right paw, there are many more pages than when the duck opened it, indicating that it could be the second page of the book.
- Crazy creditsThe yellow logos appear in the purple background.
- Alternate versionsSome TV prints are missing a blackface gag. An accidental electrocution causes Barney Bear to resemble a black "mammy" and the duck he is pursuing to look like a caricature of a little black girl, complete with ribbons in his hair.

This proves that sometimes it's better to beg forgiveness than to ask permission
This is a very good short directed by the forgotten director, Dick Lundy. Most people remember Hanna and Barbera and Tex Avery. But very few remember Lundy, who chiefly directed Barney Bear cartoons in the early 1950s. Lundy wasn't the greatest director MGM had, but he did some very good work. In this cartoon, the focus is on an extremely annoying little duck. Visions of an orange glaze come to mind whenever I see this cartoon. I don't generally go for hunting as a rule, but I'd make an exception here. I'd shoot first and worry about breaking rules and paying fines later! Well worth watching. Recommended.
