never heard of the slave hunting but i know that all and i mean all recovery agent or bounty hunters all work under a federal, not state but federal rule. under the authority of the United States Supreme Court, a bail agent may enter another state for the purpose of arresting the principal. see Taylor v. taintor:83U.S. 366(1873) I hope this helped it gave a date that the fed put down the rules.... I know that some owners would pay to get a slave back but never heard of it being called bounty hunting.....

The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 granted bounty hunters permission to hunt runaway slaves by requiring states to assist in the capture and return of escaped slaves to their owners. The law was part of a series of legislative measures intended to strengthen the institution of slavery in the United States.
