Backwoods Bunny is a 1959 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon, directed by Robert McKimson and written by Tedd Pierce.^[1] The short was released on June 13, 1959, and stars Bugs Bunny.^[2][3]

Bugs Bunny embarks on a vacation in the rustic setting of the Ozarks, encountering a simple abode perched atop a tall tree inhabited by a rural buzzard named Elvis and his Pa. Upon spotting Bugs, Elvis attempts to entice him with a carrot, but Bugs cleverly outwits him by utilizing a water hose disguised as his hand. This leads to a comical exchange where Bugs manipulates the water flow, causing Elvis to inadvertently launch himself between trees until he falls to the ground.

Subsequently, Elvis, now armed with a rifle, mistakenly believes Bugs to be a threat and attempts to shoot him, only to miss. Further antics ensue as Bugs deceives Elvis by masquerading as a female hillbilly, leading to a brief moment of confusion before Elvis realizes the ruse and resumes his pursuit of Bugs.

A confrontation unfolds as Elvis tries to coerce Bugs out of his rabbit hole with threats of gunfire. Bugs ingeniously redirects Elvis's attention to his father, who is lounging nearby. In a misguided attempt to comply with Elvis's demand, the father buzzard becomes the unintended target of Elvis's gunfire, as Bugs orchestrates a series of comedic mishaps.

The scene culminates in a surreal sequence where Bugs, clad in golf attire, serenades the chaos to the tune of "I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover" punctuated by gunfire-induced interruptions.
