The things I've read about it talked about cooking it low and slow due to the toughness issue.

I too am surprised that someone would do an entire chop. Although the domesticated animal's genetics have been refined to eliminate the toughness inherent in their wild cousins, I think the big difference is lifestyle between the two animals. So I would agree with your assessment Deb that foraging and exposure to the elements makes for a much leaner and far more muscled wild animal. Not to mention the glandular situation that arises from a non castrated animal. I've only ever had ground wild boar.
