The Deerclops need to destroy six structures to be satisfied and disappear, allowing the world to spawn its (or a new deerclops) next time.
So if the Deerclops raid occurs when there is no structure nearby to give the Deerclops "as a target", this Deerclops will never be satisfied and will be trapped in the world forever.
Once that happens (The main way for the player to deal with the deerclops is to leave the base and go to an open area, which is actually quite easy to happen), there will be no any Deerclops raid this winter, and even Hostile Flare will not bring a new Deerclops to get eyeball, unless you find the Deerclops trapped in the world and kill it.
This is easier happen at Crystal Deerclops because Deerclops loses its "target structure" when it becomes Crystal Deerclops. Only when the player fights it and ends the fight does it set up its own new "target structure."
1. find a place without structure
2. light Hostile Flare to start a Deerclops Raid
3. leave
4. wondered why there wasn't any Deerclops raid for the rest of the winter, and fretted about a spring without an eyebrella
5. go back to that place and find out that the Deerclops never despawn properly
