I read every thread on Rudolph, I don't remember anyone attaching hero-status on him; many posters were impressed by his elusiveness and less impressive with the fed's investigative skills.

And just so it's clear to everyone, I am not attaching hero status to him either. However I about fell out of my chair when the government man at the press conference said they knew how many calories he needed a day. We were always wondering what they were doing up there and now I know. Running calorie counter programs

Do don't think that him finding a food source would be crucial for an investigative lead?

Calorie needs are realitively easy...

for males, it is 66+(13.7xkg)+ (5xcm)-(6.8xage)
Then factory in extra kcal for activity, injury, infection.

If the man was burnin' 3000kcal per day, that is a lot of food. Where was it coming from?
