Dont know if you've worked with wild pork before, but if you have not; be sure not to overcook it. 180 degrees is good internal, the fat content is very low and my experience is that it wont pull easily. I find your better off slicing or chopping. 10-12 hours at 225 degrees does well for me.

They tend to be dry, I've had better luck brining them and slow cooking them moist in a crock pot.

I agree with you that resting helps a lot with butts. I just throw them in a small cooler for a few hours.
