the deerclops (unlike many encounters) does not automatically target the player, but rather wanders about, potentially avoiding the player altogether. while it is unlikely that a player would avoid the deerclops for such an extended period of time, especially without trying to, there are many factors that could make it less likely to se you, such as living on a relatively small island, living near a sizeable swamp (enough tentacles can make short work of a deerclops), or living on the far end of a peninsula
