It was a joke, and it wasn’t about hunting.
I'm 5'10-1/2", and that was obviously a 6'0" joke.
That, and I previously overreacted for being called out over using Southern, sorta-blue collar, redneck-type stereotypes. I've lived all over the country, but given my family history and my wife's family history, and the people I feel most comfortable around, I reacted to it like a black guy being told he couldn't use the 'n' word.
I apologize, don-o.
I'd have give your comment a +1 if I'd exercised any common sense the first time around, and I'd have alerted Laz.
