I'd say what you want to do is keep it from drying out.

I would rub it down with a olive oil herb mix, inside and out. If the skin is still on, work the mixture under the skin also. I like to stuff the chest cavity with fruit also. I cube apple, pear and grapefruit. Saute it a bit to break down the juices then stuff into the bird.
put in roasting pan covered and cook @ 375 for 40 min. uncover and cook for 10 more min to brown/crisp up the skin.

When my mom cooked game, there was always plenty of wine used (a considerable amount even made it into the pot).  We always chewed carefully to avoid chomping down on bird shot.

Hange ye bird from ye eaves of ye house, and tell thy consort lette no manne touch it, whilst it doe season.
