So would you bounty hunt if you could?
None of those answers fit how I feel about this situation. I think most people who want to do this are wanna-be-cops and need a lot of attention for how "bad ass" they think they are. I think it's a ridiculous thing to do.
Dog is a racist and I can't watch that show to save my life. UG. I can't stand the man and if most who do this are like him or want to be like him, count me out completely. The fact that doing this is even legal astounds me.
Mileage and all that.

I worked on a bounty hunting team back in the 80s, and it's not as "cool" as TV makes it out to be. Once in a while you're snagging a real violent asshat so you get a huge adrenaline rush and then a feeling of accomplishment when you're done. It sometimes even feels good if they "fall down" on the way to the car or something, depending on what their original crime was.
More often than not you're busting some guy/girl who didn't really do anything that dramatic to begin with though, and you're doing it in front of a distraught family member or a passle of freaked out kids. That's emotionally taxing to the extreme and it's very hard to feel like the good person in that situation. Well, it was for me anyway. Some of the people in the business were so caught up in personal power trips that it didn't seem to bother them.

Bounty Hunters are really skirting the law in SO many cases, and even Dog got in trouble recently, did he not? Sure don't want that job. No real weapons, NO real back up and a LOT of bad people you are chasing? No thanks.

Absolutely not. If If I want to help humanity, I'll go to the local women's shelter and volunteer my time and services. That's much more productive and helpful, in my opinion.
