For those who want to plant things for deer habitat / attraction - walnut trees may not be the best idea. Walnut tree roots give off a defensive hormone called juglone that prevents other plants from growing near the walnut trees. It's a natural protection (for the walnut trees) to kill off any competition and allow the walnut trees to thrive. Walnut trees around my home area are pretty much a monoculture with only crappy grass growing near them. No other trees or shrubs are present near them. We squashed a suggestion of planting walnut trees at our hunting camp so we can get multiple species of trees and shrubs growing !!!
If you want to attract squirrels - walnuts are good for that. FWIW.
