[[File:Duck_Hunt_Dog_Duck.PNG|thumb|100px|left|In-game sprite of the dog holding a duck in ''Duck Hunt'']] Throughout ''Duck Hunt'', the goal is to shoot all of the ducks with a limited amount of bullets and time. By plugging a controller into the player 2 slot in the NES, a duck can be controlled to a limited extent by another player.

The hunter is the playable character in all versions of ''Duck Hunt'' and is supposed to represent the player. Accompanying the player is a non-playable {{iw|wikipedia|scent hound}}, who flushes out the ducks for the hunter to shoot and picks up any ducks that are shot down by the player. If the player fails to shoot down any ducks, the dog infamously laughs at the player's misfortune (in a manner resembling the American cartoon character {{iw|wikipedia|Muttley}}, who has a large following in Japan) before slinking back down into the grass.

Although the home console version of ''Duck Hunt'' does not allow players to shoot the dog, the arcade version, ''[[wikipedia:Duck Hunt#Vs. Duck Hunt|Vs. Duck Hunt]]'', actually allows players to do so in the bonus rounds. However, successfully shooting the dog immediately ends the bonus round and yields no points.<ref>[http://uproxx.com/gammasquad/how-to-shoot-the-dog-and-other-facts-you-probably-dont-know-about-duck-hunt/2/ How To Shoot The Dog And Other Facts You Probably Don't Know About 'Duck Hunt']</ref>
