Unlikely. Hunters were savages in ancient times. The inhabitants of the steppe with good military skills were shepherds, this was the case all over the world.
You want the inhabitants of the Asian Steppe to be the same as the inhabitants of the Great Plains. They were not.
Yes, the Apache were hunters. To deny that simple fact is ridiculous. When the Eastern Apache inhabited the Great Plains they followed the bison herds as hunters.
