-== Production notes ==
-''Buckaroo Bugs'' and ''[[The Old Grey Hare]]'' share the same opening title font and were both directed by Clampett in the same year. ''Buckaroo Bugs'' served as Bugs Bunny's inaugural short in the ''Looney Tunes'' series, coinciding with a period where both ''Merrie Melodies'' and ''Looney Tunes'' were converging in style. Additionally, the ''Looney Tunes'' series transitioned to full-time three-hue Technicolor in 1944.
-This marked Leon Schlesinger's final Warner Bros. cartoon as producer, as he sold the studio to Warner Bros. around the time of its release. Despite this, Schlesinger remained involved in marketing the characters until his death on December 25, 1949.
