Its the enzymes that break the food down. It can spoil the meat. Adrenaline is just what keeps them running after an impact or gunshot.

Wasn't so much thinking of eating it but more like what the big hunters do with the trophy.
BTW It's the toxins from intestines and other internal organs that can ruin the meat when they suffer extensive trauma. If they don't die right away it could pump the toxins through out the entire animal.

I've eaten many a gutshot deer that ran a long time and took us hours to find before killing it and they didn't taste like the one I hit...

What a shame. You should buy it back and Put it back together. probally around $1000 to buy back and around $1000-$1500 or so to fix it with paint if you shop around.
