This is an amusing cartoon, which (as was pointed out in another comment on this thread) was taking a typical Bugs Bunny - Elmer Fudd situation ("Peace and welaxation at wast!", said Elmer in one very similar earlier cartoon), using Daffy Duck and Porky Pig as the alternates. At this point in time (1942) Elmer was still in a period of change in shape and features, sometimes fat and sometimes with a red pickle shaped nose - and sometimes referred to as "Egghead". But Porky Pig's basics had been laid down by the late 1930s (originally he too was immensely fat, but gradually his rotundity was made more acceptable). Daffy and Bugs went through alterations too, though not as extreme as Porky and Elmer. Both the duck and bunny were anarchistic and malicious, but Bugs had demonstrated a cleverness and control over the world that lasted until the end of every cartoon. Bugs is a master of his universe (much to the discomfort of such foes as Elmer, Yosemite Sam, Wile E. Coyote ("Genius"), and the Tazmanian Devil. Daffy due to personality problems never is such a master, and the conclusion of this cartoon demonstrates it.
Porky is going on a hopefully restful vacation in the wild, but he finds Daffy tagging along to annoy him at every possible moment. This includes preventing him from putting his tent up anywhere on land, and even stealing his food. But the real ace up Daffy's sleeve for most of the cartoon is that it is not Duck hunting season, so nothing can be physically done to harm Daffy by Porky in retaliation for what Daffy has been doing.
It is a good trick - unfortunately it doesn't last. Daffy suddenly finds that it is now Duck hunting season, and (moreover) he in particular is to be targeted for destruction. Daffy finds he is in serious danger from an enraged Porky.
The ending of the cartoon was actually slightly reused years later in a Bugs - Yosemite Sam cartoon, where the film seems to break and we are unaware of what happened to the two characters. It is symbolic of Bugs mastery of his universe as opposed to Daffy's attempt at mastery that Bugs gets the better of Sam, while Porky gets the better of Daffy.
