Men became bounty hunters for a number of reasons. For some it the money, some to show the world, at least their part of the world, how tough they were, and still others it was to help bring justice to the Fronter where laws and court were few and far between. Most bounty hunters were good trackers and hunters, and often loners. Bounty hunters often did not live long. If they built a reputation as a gunfrighter, or by being good at their job of bringing the lawless to justice, they often became a target for someone who wanted to make a reputation for himself by killing the bounty hunter, or to prevent the bounty hunter from doing his job. Jake Murdock, Bounty Hunter is the story of a young man who didn't start out to be a bounty hunter, but seeking revenge for the ruthless killing of his parents turned him into someone who would seek those who broke the law in order to bring them to justice.
