I've been trapping city pigeons for the last six months whenever I need shackled birds and have done a few live shoots with some friends of questionable ethics. Sustaineable, easy, basically free. Texas Parks and Wildlife assigns feral Rock Dove the "AT ANY TIME, BY ANY MEANS" kill order. The only drawback to pigeons versus ducks is that you usually only get one training session out of a pigeon. Depending on the dogs, a shackled duck can become a sort of veteran and if he's KIA he freezes pretty well.
You can also look at the GA Dept. of Ag.'s website and look through the Farmers Market Bulletin classifieds. In addition to being on-line, this publication is monthly and is free if you call or email the GA Dept. of Ag.
