Default hang-fire

not sure if thats what its called. but happened 2 me yesterday. Was aiming at a deer, pulled the trigger, cap snapped ( fired), took my eye off the scope, was in the process of saying OH Sh?t, when rifle went off. I know I moved the rifle as this was happening, so totaly missed the deer. Can anyone tell me why this happened?
Bad cap? Bad powder? Moisture problems? I use pyrodex pellets. Thanks in advance for any info.
