It's not clear whether Shukaku's all bro with Gaara, but I don't think he left Sunagakure considering sandy places ought to be his kinda schtick. And since Gaara is Kazekage, then it's safe to assume they are at least on talking terms. I think so. but the world is pretty big (and the official map isn't even complete), so it's possible the Biju simply roam around away from major settlements. E.g. it's possible Shukaku is in the Land of Wind, but not necessarily near the Hidden Sand.
