Choosing when to mark an enemy champion to hunt them is going to be an important mindgame for people who play Kindred.

There is an extremely long delay after you select the target and when they actually become hunted, and they can see that you've selected them the instant you do so.

On one hand, ganking someone then selecting them as your target is the easiest way to gank them since it gives no forewarning, however the delay is so long that they'll probably ether die or make it back to their tower before the mark actually triggers, so no passive stack.

A middleground is to select them as your target slightly earlier, they will become hunted by the time you get there so if they die you can guarantee you'll get the passive stack, the only issue is that they now know you're ganking them long before they actually see you, they'll need to be literally under your own laner's tower in order for the gank to be successful at all.

And finally, selecting someone as your target then waiting a while before you gank them is another thign you can do. It still doesn't let the enemy know precisely when you're going to gank them, and it also ensures that they'll be marked when you do. However it does still let them know that you are intending to gank them at some point and are probably hanging around the area, so they won't feel so secure to push out very much.

There is one final advantage to that third way and that's to select an enemy... right as THEY go ham on your laner and try to all in them. It'll have somewhat of a Nocturne ult effect on them and there's a good chance that they'll back off fearing a gank, even if you were elsewhere.
