that is very possible, actually now that you mention it, I am guessing that my vibration dampers strapped around the limbs may have slipped up too far and wedged in the cable. I will have to make sure that doesn't happen. Is this a pretty easy fix? I don't want to be sitting without a bow when the rut starts.

Yes, if you have the tools and the know how its a very easy fix. Hopefully, because you didn't actually dry fire the bow, the string and cable will be in good shape. You might have to get a string reserved, or at worse a new string.... but at a good pro shop, its basically a wait an hour or two and go, or drop it off PM and pick it up AM type deal if its a new string or a reserve. If the string is in ok shape... its a $5-$10 press charge and ten minutes to check everything over.
Yes, I didn't get it pulled back very far at all when it popped, in fact my arrow was still knocked in the string when it happened. I do see some bare cable but I don't know if that is a big deal or not. Thanks for the info guys. I didn't realize a cable can pop of that easy if you aren't paying attention. At least I wasn't shooting a nice deer.
