When do we see grants given to check the oceans for living Ammonites? The Bigfooters say that you can't find something unless you are specifically looking for it.
IMO, Bigfootery dictates that the game will always be afoot until one is brought in dead or alive, which will obviously never happen. And so it goes, and so it is written.
