Main article: Open Season (film)

In the tranquil town of Timberline, a 900-pound grizzly bear named Boog has his perfect world turned upside down after he meets Elliot, a one-horned mule deer. After Elliot messes up Boog's nature show and before they are about to get shot by the hunter Shaw, the duo end up tranquilized by Boog's owner Ranger Beth and then her best friend Sheriff Gordy tells her to release them into the Timberline National Forest before open season for only 3 days. However, when hunting season comes, it is up to Boog and Elliot to rally all the other forest animals and turn the tables on the hunters. In the end, Boog decides to stay in the forest and says goodbye to Beth (who originally returned to take Boog home with her).

Open Season 2 (2008)

Main article: Open Season 2

One spring morning, Elliot gets prepared for his big wedding with Giselle, with Boog being his best man. But little do they know, Bob and Bobbie have left a trail of dog treats in the forest for Mr. Weenie to follow, which he does and ends up getting taken back to his original home by them. A shocked Elliot witnesses this, tells the story to Boog and the others, and they all make a mission to save Weenie before he gets turned back into a pet. On the way, they must battle a vicious, wild animal-hating toy poodle named Fifi and his henchmen of pets before they turn Mr. Weenie back into a pet. In the end, Mr. Weenie thought he was going back to live with the wilds but instead, decides to remain a pet again and go live with Bob and Bobbie and the other pets.

Open Season 3 (2010)

Main article: Open Season 3

Boog wakes up early in his cave one spring morning and gets ready for the new guys' trip to start spending more time with his male friends. Unfortunately, they all decline because of family obligations; this makes Boog feel bad and take Dinkleman (who is now somehow repaired after being burned by Shaw) with him on the trip himself, only to discover that it isn't a guys' trip with only one guy. He then stumbles upon a poster of a Russian traveling circus called the Maslova Family Circus, where he meets a devious lookalike named Doug, his llama friend Alistair, and a skilled girl bear named Ursa and falls madly in love with her. When Doug tricks Boog into letting him switch places with him, Elliot and the wilds find out about this and set out to rescue their beloved bear friend (especially as the circus is going back to Russia eventually). In the end, Ursa decides to live with Boog and his best friends since he doesn't want to leave her or Elliot.
