My name is Randy LaNeve, I was born and raised in Providence, a small town in Western KY were I continue to live with my wife Shelley, our 7 year old son Travis and 2 year old daughter Josie Beth. I was fortunate enough to grow up with a father that started packing me with him hunting and fishing when I was barely big enough to walk. When I was 9 I finally got to carry a gun squirrel hunting and bagged my first squirrel.
My dad wasn't a waterfowl hunter, he was a bird hunter so most of my teen years were spent chasing quail and training bird dogs with my dad. In 1992 a friend from work asked me to go Duck hunting with him and I was hooked. Being a Tool And Die Maker by trade I had the desire to make my own calls so in 1995 I bought a small lathe and milling machine and started Big R Custom Calls and began making custom Duck,Goose and Turkey calls.
In 2002, after several years of coaxing by friends I finally got the nerve to call in my first Goose calling contest and I was again hooked. Since then I have been lucky enough to win a few contest but most of all it has enabled me to meet some of the finest people in the world and make some really good friends.
Some of my individual first place contest wins consist of:
2002 Grand American novice
2003 West KY Open
2003 Illinois State
2004 Grand American
2004 Illinois State
2004 Ketuckiana Regional
2004 Tennessee State
