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.
