Review on my English Essay?

We Answered:

Poor.

Bad grammar, confused tenses.

You flick between the present and past tense all the time, use one or the other. eg "It took forever to get to the brush line before their bunker but we finally get there." Took is past, get is present, they should never be together like that.

It reads like a 10 year old describing what they did on their holidays... ie "I went to the shops. I saw some sweets. I bought the sweets then I eat them"...
It's all "I's" Try using the passive voice a bit more to avoid that...
eg: Instead of saying;
"I stand behind an old large oak tree and stick my head around. I see no movement and no sign of my enemies, so I step out into the clearing"
try;
"I stand behind a large old oak tree and stick my head around, seeing no movement or sign of my enemies, I step out into the clearing"
It works in the past tense too;
"I stood behind a large old oak tree and stuck my head around, seeing no movement or sign of my enemies, I stepped out into the clearing."

All that aside, it still won't be a good story, there's nothing to engage the reader, no real story or point as such, just you describing a very brief skirmish. Now I don't know how old you're meant to be or what's expected of you/this assignment (our school system is radically different from yours, so saying you're a freshman means nothing to me), but how about actually turning it into a proper story?
Write it in the third person (ie. he/she/it/they rather than me/I/we), don't mention airsoft at all and just describe the skirmish, give it a point and a little drama. At the end when the 'bad guys' are taken out, then reveal that it's all a game, that nobody's really hurt and that everyone's mates and just having fun.

Why am i not seeing deer?

We Answered:

Your probably fighting a moon phase like I have to do at the start of every deer season in Oregon.

ODFW specifiaclly picks the saturday near the first of october that is closest to the full moon. They call this "giving the deer the greatest chance of escapement from hunters." Basically when there is a bright moon in the sky, deer will generally feed just after dark and just before sunrise then hide out the rest of the day.

For the first days of the deer season I really have to get out and walk the woods as well as have fellow hunters beat the brush to put on a daylight drive past a stand. Once the moon isn't so full the deer will start coming out earlier in the afternoons and later mornings.
