I agree with that 100%. Old does are super wary and jump at the least bit of disturbance, but they have to tend to their young and get them fed as well which forces them to feed more in daylight, spend more time in the open, and not merely escape danger but try to get their young from the danger as well.
These facts make them an easier target than the mature bucks, but their wariness and cunning are no less. The challenge, on the other hand, is less. IMHO
