I had the same thing with an elk this year. Thought I heard and very quiet step every so often, but thought: "surely that can't be an elk". But it was. Small rag horn snuck in on my cow calls.

That kind of a misfire is the exact reason I do not leave a rifle loaded over night. I shoot them off at the end of the day, clean them, and load them fresh the next morning before the hunt.
