Provided that non-toxic shot is used, is there any federal or Indiana state law that prohibits taking of waterfowl with a slingshot?
Is there any federal or state law that regarding the capturing and dispatching waterfowl by hands or dog alone (no shots fired) during waterfowl season?

Below is a list of restrictions that cannot be used to take waterfowl. These were copied from the Migratory Bird Regulations.
Restrictions
No person shall take migratory game birds:
With a trap, snare, net, rifle, pistol, swivel gun, shotgun larger than 10 gauge, punt gun, battery gun, machine gun, fishhook, poison, drug, explosive or stupefying substance.
From a sink box (a low, floating device, having a depression affording the hunter a means of concealment beneath the surface of the water).
From or with the aid or use of a car or other motor-driven land conveyance, or any aircraft, except that paraplegics and single or double amputees of the legs may take from any stationary motor vehicle or stationary motor-driven land conveyance.
By the use or aid of live decoys. All live, tame or captive ducks and geese shall be removed for a period of 10 consecutive days prior to hunting, and confined within an enclosure which substantially reduces the audibility of their calls and totally conceals such tame birds from the sight of migratory waterfowl.
By driving, rallying or chasing birds with any motorized conveyance or any sail boat to put them in the range of the hunters.
By the aid of baiting, or on or over any baited area, if the person knows or reasonably should know that the area is baited. Baiting includes the placing of corn, wheat or other grain, salt, or other feed to serve as a lure or attraction for migratory game birds to, on, or over areas where hunters are attempting to take them. It is a separate offense to place or direct placement of bait on or adjacent to an area for the purpose of causing or allowing hunters to take or attempt to take birds by the aid of bait or over a baited area. A baited area is considered to be baited for 10 days after complete removal of any bait. The maximum federal penalties are: for hunting over bait: $15,000/6 months jail; placing bait: $100,000/1 year jail.
• By the use of recorded or electrically amplified bird calls or sounds, or recorded or electrically amplified imitations of bird calls or sounds.
