The apprehended Regulator had been posing as a poacher. He had a pulley-festooned compound bow that would have baffled William Tell. The bow’s graphite arrows contained self-rifling gyroscopic fletching and global-positioning-system locator units. The scout also owned boot-spike crampons and a climber’s lap-belt, ideal for extensive lurking in the tops of trees. He carried a ceramic bowie knife.
