There's a great story of the late author John C. Phillips, MD who was found dead (while grouse hunting) slumped over his double gun and bird dogs beside him...although I believe he liked to hunt grouse dog less.
Here's a little piece I wrote in 2010 on the Upland Ways blog:

That's the way I hope to go!
