As far as I know buckeyes are poisonous to both humans and animals. Put one in your back pocket for good luck though.

I think they eat them. Something does and the hulls don't have squirrel cutting marks. Wheeler Refuge has some areas covered with small buckeye bushes and some very large trees. They bear and drop just before bow season opens and the buckeyes are gone by opening day. I've seen this 3 or 4 years straight back in the 90's when I hunted the Refuge.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

Deer are resistant to the toxins and can eat the nuts directly.
It takes a long time to grow an old friend.

The Name
The name “Buckeye” came from the Native Americans who noticed that the glossy, chestnut-brown seeds with the lighter circular “eye” looked very similar to the eye of a buck (male) deer.
The Buckeye Nut
The nut is a glossy brown color and very smooth. The nuts are contained in a spiny hull until they ripen in September. The hull opens and they fall to the ground. Many times there are multiple nuts in a hull.
The nuts are slightly poisonous and shouldn't be eaten unless they are heated and leached.
Used by Native Americans and Early Settlers
Native Americans roasted, peeled and mashed the buckeye nut, which they called “Hetuck,” into a nutritional meal.
Early travelers carried the rare buckeye to the east with them and reported its medicinal properties. The nut was believed to help with spinal treatments.
Good Luck Charm
The nut of the buckeye tree is also considered to be a good luck charm and also a relief for rheumatism pain if you carry it in your pocket. Try it and let us know if it works for you. Even if you don't find good fortune by carrying it around it's still an interesting looking nut.
"I'm not near as critical about how big they are as I once was. Smiles are more important now! We will grow more deer."

I've watched deer eat them on Redstone more than once.
