The attack and Dale's mutilation visibly infuriated Rick, Abraham and Michonne and the rest of the group, and spurned them into violent retaliation. Their plan worked, and Glenn was shot in the leg by Albert, though the shot went clean through. The Hunters eventually decided to leave the wounded Dale in front of Gabriel's Church as bait for the other survivors to come out into the open. However, the theory never came to be seen as right or wrong. David theorized that the meat was not dangerous since it came from an unturned person and had been thoroughly cooked. Albert considered cutting out his own tongue to prevent infection, but Chris argued that it was useless to do so. He scared the members of the Hunters who had eaten his leg and enraged Chris enough to violently kick him until he became unconscious. In Issue 64, Dale revealed to the Hunters that he had been bitten. Dale had lost his other leg after a zombie bit his leg, followed by an intentional amputation in Issue 39. The Hunters had meanwhile introduced themselves to the dazed and confused Dale, revealing they had cooked and eaten his remaining leg. The Survivors later became alerted to the possibility of being watched by the Hunters in Issue 63 after Dale's disappearance and Andrea's worries. However, the pair did not know of the bite wound Dale had sustained from a zombie prior to his abduction. When Dale was bitten and had left the campsite to die in the woods away from the group, they took the opportunity and abducted him in Issue 62. Greg and Charlie continued to watch the group as they fought amongst themselves. However, the in-fighting between the Survivors, due to Billy's death at the hands of his twin brother Ben and Gabriel Stokes mysterious and sudden appearance distracted them from taking their usual safety measures and precautions. The pair continued to observe the Survivors from a distance in Issue 61, and watched Andrea as she went into the woods and spooked her enough for her to believe she was being watched. The Survivors were traveling across the country to Washington, D.C., and while on the road, Greg and Charlie had spotted them. The Hunters first came into contact with the survivors after the fall of the prison. Like most survivors, their lives prior to the undead apocalypse are unknown, and the circumstances to which they survived and became opportunistic cannibals is never truly explored. This explained why they resorted to hunting down Rick's larger group they were getting desperate and needed food. They believed that other living humans were much easier game than hunting animals or gathering other food supplies, and began to prey on small groups and loners with increasing confidence.Ĭhris told Rick that the Hunters had normally and consciously avoided larger groups, but, by the time of their conflict with the Survivors, Chris said that they had no luck tracking down smaller groups or loners in the past few days. It was implied from Chris' story and his visible emotional grief that the Hunters ate their own children to survive.Īfter the Hunters had consumed the bodies of their children, the group moved on to hunting other living survivors for sustenance. However, when food became scarce and scavenging was no longer a safe option, they resorted to cannibalism, due to, ironically, being terrible hunters. Initially, the Hunters had survived on normal food supplies. The only details of their revealed origin prior to their conflict with the Survivors was explained by Chris. Like most survivors, their lives prior to the undead apocalypse are unknown, and the circumstances to which they survived and became cannibalistic hunters is only lightly touched upon. The exact location is unknown, but it is obviously located somewhere in the countryside between Atlanta and Washington, D.C. The Hunters are primarily led by Chris, and their base was shown to be an isolated countryside home with dense forest and some fences surrounding it. The group consisted of five men and one woman who presumably survived the initial days of the global calamity as a regular group of survivors. The Hunters were a group of hostile survivors that the Survivors encountered while on the road to Washington, D.C.
