Content: Bounty hunters must be prepared for anything – knife wielding drug addicts, domestic violence offenders resisting arrest, or gun-toting robbers. Most bounty hunters start by working with experienced bounty hunters at a bail recovery business. This is a good way to learn the trade, master the techniques, understand the laws, and make necessary contacts. Work is almost always performed in teams because it is risky entering fugitive’s homes, setting traps, and making arrests. Bail bondsmen are more likely to call a bounty hunter who is experienced and consistently brings in a fugitive safely. The average bounty hunter will get 100 contracts a year, but most bounty hunters will turn down a contract if there are multiple bounty hunters looking for the same fugitive. Every contract is different, but a bounty hunter can plan to make 10% to 20% of the bail for each fugitive they arrest. On average they make $50,000 to $80,000 per year. It can be long work and irregular hours in sketchy places, but the adrenaline keeps them going. Check out Dog the Bounty Hunter on A&E to see if bounty hunting is the life for you.
