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.....

What states can a felon work as a bounty hunter in?

Given that "bail agents" ("bounty hunters") function within the common law, and with common law 'arrest and detention' powers, I doubt that a convicted felon could legally work at an occupation where such quasi-police powers could be exerecised. However, contact you local state authorities for more information applicable within your state.
