Three bears climb fences in Cumming backyards | 11alive.com

CUMMING, Ga. — “I’ve heard for years there were bears in the area, but I always told people they were crazy,” Jeff Adler said. “Then I saw them.”

Adler was driving home from a restaurant near the intersection of Post and Major Roads near the Polo Golf Country Club neighborhood when he spotted an adult and two juvenile black bears climbing a fence into a backyard. He followed them through the neighborhood as they moved through several backyards.

“As I was trying to get ahead of them, I saw a guy working on sprinklers. When I told him the bears were coming, he looked at me like I was crazy,” he said. “But then, he screamed: Here they come!”

Adler said he followed the bears from a safe distance in his car until they went into an area of the neighborhood without roads. He called 911, and was told they would contact the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.
