You know, a .22LR pistol might be handy for just such an occasion, as well as not attracting as much attention if you left your fox hunting license in your other pants.
If you have to use the .300 WM, and I have one myself, you might consider looking for a chamber insert. IIRC you can get them for .308 and .30-'06 to use .30 Carbine or .32 ACP ammo in those rifles. You might find one for .300 WM.
If you can put the bullet where you want it for a rifle normally zeroed for several hundred meters, the pencil hole should work, but after you shoot, I wouldn't count on finding a deer coming by that day.
