In the movie, Boog (Matthew J. Munn) wants to go on a special trip with his guy friends. But everyone is busy with their families. This makes Boog sad. So, he goes on a trip by himself. He finds a Russian circus called the Maslova Family Circus. There, he meets a bear who looks just like him, named Doug (also voiced by Matthew J. Munn). He also meets Doug's funny friend, Alistair (Dana Snyder). Boog falls in love with a circus performer named Ursa (Melissa Sturm). When Boog's forest friends find out the circus is going back to Russia, they make a plan. They want to rescue Boog and bring him home.

The Story of Open Season 3

Boog (Matthew J. Munn) plans his yearly "guys' trip" to hang out with his male friends. But his best friend, Elliot (Maddie Taylor), has been spending less time with him. Elliot started a family with his wife, Giselle (Melissa Sturm), and their three kids. Their children are Gisela (Karley Scott Collins), Giselita (Ciara Bravo), and Elvis (Harrison Fahn).

Boog feels disappointed because all his friends want to be with their families. This makes the grizzly bear decide to go on a trip alone. His journey leads him to a traveling circus from Russia. It's called the Maslova Family Circus.

Boog Meets Doug

At the circus, Boog meets Doug (Matthew J. Munn). Doug is a lazy, messy grizzly bear. He is tired of just being a background performer in the circus. Boog also meets Doug's friend, a llama from Argentina named Alistair (Dana Snyder). Doug dreams of being a famous "king of the forest."

Doug tricks Boog into switching places with him. Boog agrees to take Doug's spot in the circus. But it turns out Doug just wanted to escape the circus life.

Love and Rescue

Meanwhile, Boog falls in love with Ursa (Melissa Sturm). She is a female grizzly bear from Russia. Ursa is amazing at walking on a tightrope, juggling, and dancing. When Boog and Ursa start performing together, they become a great team.

When Boog's friends find out he's missing, they get worried. The forest animals and pets put aside their differences. They create a rescue plan to save Boog.

Boog's friends arrive at the circus. They want Boog to come back home. But Boog doesn't want to leave Ursa. Suddenly, Doug shows up. He says sorry to Boog for tricking him. Doug then performs the circus acts for the audience. Ursa decides to stay in the forest with Boog and his friends.

Later, Boog, Elliot, Ian, Elvis, Buddy, and Reilly go on their own "guy road trip." During the credits, Alistair and Doug show pictures of their travels in Russia.
