In Open Season, Boog, a domesticated grizzly bear, ultimately chooses to embrace his wild side, leading other forest animals against hunters and deciding to live permanently in the forest.
Taking Action During Hunting Season
When hunting season arrives, Boog plays a crucial role alongside his friend Elliot. Their partnership becomes essential as they take charge of uniting the various animals residing in the forest.
Their key actions during this critical period include:
