Took a left-handed shot at a buck tonight, around 4:35pm. He came on my right side so I had to switch to my weak side. Crosshairs were dead behind his shoulder at about 20 yards. At the shot, he spun around and bolted in the direction he came, but I think I heard him stop and then continue on. Not real sure. Waited 25 minutes, no blood or hair where he was shot or where I saw him last. Was shooting 260 gr Harvester Scorpion with 90 gr BH209.

Bullets, unlike arrows, travel subsonically. When a bullet hits the deer traveling at such speeds, it will blow the hair off a deer. Since you found no hair, I might suspect you missed. UNFORTUNATLY.
I hope I am wrong. Good luck
