Strategy
Place a non-obvious courier sniping Observer Ward. Killing couriers not only grants gold but also disallows detection to be delivered.
Hit opponents with Jinada or secure range creep last hits. The bonus damage does not work on denies.
Check frequently opponents' inventories for detection.
If you get dusted while in Shadow Walk, use any activatable item or Shuriken Toss to leave invisibility and your won't be slowed by dust.
Avoid running by spots that are typically sentried like pillars and active rune spots.
In mid to late game, play ahead of your teammates, track opponents, break smokes, collect runes, place deep wards and snipe couriers.
When not much is happening in the game, you can farm creep waves and jungle camps quickly with Shuriken Toss if you took the Through and Through facet.
Counter Strategy
Bring a Sentry Ward to the lane to not let Bounty Hunter close the gap on you from the invisibility of Shadow Walk.
Bounty Hunter tends to snipe couriers, so be mindful about that.
Don't make it easy for Bounty Hunter to steal your gold with Jinada hits. Step away or damage him heavily.
Pair observer wards with sentries to spot Bounty Hunter's movements.
Encourage your allies to carry detection on multiple heroes.
Avoid buying items that grant you invisibility because of Bounty Hunter's Track.
Consider buying one of many items that allow you to dispel Track.
Lore
When the hunted tell tales of Gondar the Bounty Hunter, none are sure of which are true. In whispered tones they say he was abandoned as a kit, learning his skill in tracking as a matter of simple survival. Others hear he was an orphan of war, taken in by the great Soruq the Hunter to learn the master's skill with a blade as they plumbed the dark forests for big game. Still others believe he was a lowly street urchin raised among a guild of cutpurses and thieves, trained in the arts of stealth and misdirection. Around campfires in the wild countryside his quarry speaks the rumors of Gondar's work, growing ever more fearful: they say it was he who tracked down the tyrant King Goff years after the mad regent went into hiding, delivering his head and scepter as proof. That it was he who infiltrated the rebel camps at Highseat, finally bringing the legendary thief White Cape to be judged for his crimes. And that it was he who ended the career of Soruq the Hunter, condemned as a criminal for killing the Prince's prized hellkite. The tales of Gondar's incredible skill stretch on, with each daring feat more unbelievable than the last, each target more elusive. For the right price, the hunted know, anyone can be found. For the right price, even the mightiest may find fear in the shadows.
