In this episode of the Mobile Hunters Dojo, host Nolan Taylor sits down with Rick Hall, a lifelong hunter and the force behind Project Savior Outdoors. Rick shares his personal journey from a rural Alabama upbringing to becoming a voice for mental health and faith in the hunting community. Through stories of childhood squirrel hunts, Alabama deer camps, and early bowhunting milestones—including a 144-inch buck on his first sit—Rick paints a vivid picture of how the woods shaped his life. As the episode unfolds, we hear how his move to Florida deepened his appreciation for the outdoors and how his drive to stay connected to hunting evolved into a passion for public land adventures and spiritual growth.

But the heart of the conversation lies in how hunting became a sanctuary for Rick—and how he’s now helping others find the same through Project Savior Outdoors, a nonprofit that uses hunting to support veterans and first responders battling PTSD. Rick reflects on the power of presence, the lessons of surrender, and how the discomforts of the hunt mirror the discomforts of life—both necessary for growth. With raw honesty, he and Nolan explore the toxic mentalities in service communities, the importance of community and vulnerability, and the deeper connection between nature, the human spirit, and faith. This episode is a testament to the idea that hunting is more than recreation—it’s a path to healing, purpose, and spiritual clarity.
