Gallery
Bounty hunters are professionals who take up the task of capturing criminals or fugitives in exchange for a bounty or commission.
Bounty hunters are not assassins. An assassin operates more like a hitman, killing important people such as military officers or government officials, but bounty hunters help to capture and apprehend fugitives.
