weres your orange vest at? State your hunting in does not require it?

Hunter orange requirement

It is unlawful to hunt deer or to accompany another person hunting deer on public lands unless each person is wearing a minimum of 500 square inches of daylight fluorescent orange material as an outer garment. Such clothing must be worn above the waistline and can include a head covering. This rule does not apply during archery season.

I'm hunting in private land so it's not needed , but I do wear it going in and coming out , just not on the tree weather I'm on private land or public

A hunter, and anyone accompanying the hunter, must at all times wear as an outer garment at least 500 square inches of visible hunter orange above the waist (which may include a head covering) when hunting:

•deer during the primitive weapons or firearms deer season
•bear during the primitive weapons or firearms bear seasons
•feral hogs during the primitive weapons or firearms deer season
Hunter orange is not required on WMA or Corps of Engineers tracts designated archery-only, unless otherwise indicated.

down4dacount is hunting in Florida, and quoted the Florida requirements. It appears you are quoting Georgia regs. If you're hunting an area, please make sure you follow that area's regs, as they can differ greatly from state to state, and sometimes area's within a state.
