Things You Didn’t Know About Bounty Hunters
Before Dog the Bounty Hunter, there was Josh Randall.
In the last twenty years the bounty hunter most known to the majority of us was Dog the Bounty Hunter. I saw some of Dog and his crew’s adventures on A&E. Isn’t it ironic that A&E used to showcase arts and entertainment but lapsed into showing stuff like Dog? Maybe it should be called the B&C network. That’s the Bread and Circuses network, but I digress.
Prior to Dog, the bounty hunter I was most familiar with was Josh Randall of “Wanted Dead or Alive” fame. Actually, I still prefer Josh. I believe the only time Dog and his crew could blend in with the general population was on Halloween. IN thinking about these TV bounty hunters, I wondered how bounty hunters operated in the Old West, and even now. Here are some things I found.
1: Regulations for bounty hunters vary from state to state.
Some states ban bounty hunting completely, some require a license, and some pretty much allow anybody to be a bounty hunter. Strangely, I haven’t seen bounty hunters emerge as a campaign issue in this year’s midterm elections.
