Her Favorite Game



OPEN SEASON


Boog, a 900-pound grizzly bear living in the tranquil town of Timberline and who is domesticated by park ranger Beth, meets up with a scrawny, fast-talking mule deer named Elliot who is strapped to the hood of a truck that belongs to Timberline's top poacher, Shaw. When they first meet, Elliot discovers that he is missing an antler and can't find a way to get free and persuades Boog to free him. After an argument with her poacher arch-rival, Beth gets in the truck to get going as Boog quickly frees Elliot and escapes before Shaw can get after him.
After that, Boog never expects to see Elliot again.
Later that night, Boog watches television but is put to bed by Beth and falls into a deep sleep. A minute or so later, Boog wakes up and finds Elliot in the garage that Boog sleeps in and returns the favor by freeing him like he freed Elliot. Soon, Boog is lured outside by chocolate candy bars and he follows Elliot to Timberline and there, the two animals break into the town's food store and start a really big party as they wreck the store, but the party ends when Elliot runs out of the store, leaving Boog caught by police officer, Gordy.
After that, Boog is taken back home and gets to sleep to calm him down for his troubles. After going on Timberline's Nature Show as a career, Boog meets up with Elliot again when he is discovered by Shaw and chases after him. Boog tries to get the mule deer out of the way as everyone watches; Boog attacks Elliot, with Beth trying to stop the madness. Soon, Boog threatens to kill Elliot as Shaw finds them outside of the Nature Show building and prepares to shoot Boog, but instead Beth shoots both Boog and Elliot with tranquilizer darts. Gordy, who stayed after the audience ran off, prepares to arrest Shaw but he has run off; after this, Beth is concerned that Boog needs to be free instead of living in Timberline, and she takes the grizzly and mule deer out to the Timberline National Forest. Then Boog and Elliot get lost in the woods for 3 days before hunting season begins and the two start an unlikely friendship where they team up with the other animals of the woods to ward off Shaw and Timberline's other poachers back in town. At Open Season, things will never be the same...
