This is a short in the Goofy series produced by the Disney Animation studio. There will be spoilers ahead:
The short opens with a formation of ducks evading hunters in a clever fashion. One rather ingenious duck tests the water, so to speak, whenever they spot a likely stopping point. The second pond they see appears deserted and they fly down.
They're almost right, as the sole hunter in sight is Goofy-and he's more of a danger to himself than he is to the ducks. There's a nice bit where he sees the ducks and pays them no notice, as though he's unaware that they're ducks! He then brings out a decoy, which he proceeds to confuse with a real duck. There are some nice gags where he goes about trying to figure out which is which, making the real duck angry in the process. He finally figures it out and then the fun begins!
To say that Goofy often forgets to think things through is an understatement. A pair of waders suffers greatly at his hands as a result. He provides endless amusement for a pair of ducks at the same time. In the end, he does go home with dinner, but the last gag is hilarious, so I won't spoil it here.
This short is available on the Complete Goofy Disney Treasures DVD set and is well worth watching. Recommended.
