COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A young buck has decided to call the plaza in front of Nationwide Insurance on High Street home, NBC 4 reported.

The deer has been there since about 3 a.m. Wednesday morning.

The area was taped off to ensure neither the deer nor any people would be injured.

Nationwide security told NBC 4 Photographer Andy Long that the Ohio Department of Natural Resources can do nothing with the fuzzy antlered buck.

Resource officers said if they tranquilize him, due to his young age, he may die. Likewise, animal control can do nothing since the deer is a wild animal.

Nationwide was advised to wait it out and hope he leaves on his own.
