watercolor, 25 1/2 by 37 1/2in.

In John Orrelle's book, "The Art of a Sporting Life: The Wildlife Art of David Hagerbaumer," Bill Webster recalled, “My association with Dave Hagerbaumer goes back to the early sixties, and while we always seemed to be half a continent apart, there were many lengthy letters, notes and telephone conversations that were carried out between us. What I most remember was an unforgettable woodcock hunt in October, 1967. Along with my friend John Dill, David Hagerbaumer and David Maass had been invited, both yet to experience their first hunt for woodcock.” “Later, back at John Dill’s cabin in front of a warm fire our talk naturally turned to art and I told them my idea for publishing art. We kicked it around for two days, and by the time I got home I was more convinced than ever that it could work. As I recall, it was Dave Hagerbaumer who was first to say to me that I should go into the wildlife art business. From that evening’s discussion, Wild Wings ‘took flight’.”
