Sounds like after her romp with nature and indulging her prey drive, she is still over-amped and needs to run, play roughly to let her body deal with the built-up adrenaline. I'd let her play it off until she is tired, just keeping her from hurting herself and monitoring her, stopping unwanted behavior, training her in the process to know what is unacceptable. Eventually, you can offer her a Kong toy with nice treats in it to redirect her energies toward something else as she further decompresses and her system returns to normal. And yes, puppy energy usually goes away as the dog matures though in terriers with strong prey drive, it remains extremely strong when allowing them to indulge in it. I would fine other ways to allow her some "wild" time other than perhaps getting a disease or getting herself hurt by a protective doe. The doe-fawn bond is very strong so she will kill to protect her fawn from any threat, even if the fawn isn't within sight but nearby. Has your little one finished with all of her puppy shots and so forth?
