      No - bounty hunters are specifically for people who skip on their bail, and are hired by private companies. They do not have the judicial authorization to use force. There is no “dead or alive” because of a bounty can’t be brought in, the bail bondsman loses money.

      A deputized marshall has the legal protection of the state to use force to apprehend the warranted. Its rarely used because it’s a powerful tool.
