     Wabbit season! Duck season! No, it's open season, and all wildlife is aquiver. With the exception of Boog the grizzly; he has it made. Being raised in comfortable captivity by a kind-hearted ranger he lives in the lap of luxury, never knowing the dangers of the outside world. That is until he meets up with a loony deer who lives life on the wild side. He and Boog land in water so hot that the only solution is to release them into the wild. What is Boog to do without the comforts of home? He begins the long journey back home despite having zero survival skills and being hindered by various local wildlife. But they’d better stay under cover; a maniacal hunter is bent on hunting a certain grizzly and his deer companion. More enjoyable for kids than for adults, mainly because we’ve pretty much seen this type of thing before.
