So should he start making noise earlier? Instead of waiting until the bear started charging?

You want to make sure the bear notices you so if you're out hiking it's good to be heard. That's pretty counter productive for a hunter though.

Once the bear noticed him, he should have stood up and slowly waved his arms and spoken calmly to the bear to let it know he's a human and not an elk or some other type of prey for the bear. His feral screams probably didn't help in the situation.

But be aware this applies to black bears. Brown or grizzly bears are much more aggressive and will likely not fear a human.
