You got lucky. Rangers & Security firms are hired to kill people like you, without mercy, the same way you intended to kill that cheetah.

I hope you carry that guilt for the rest of your life & I truly hope you learned your lesson. What you were going to do is disgusting. There's very few of these animals alive today & every one poachers kill pushes them closer to extinction. How would you like to live in a world with all these animals gone? We only have 1 planet, and these animals are only here. Certain breeds of Rhino are completely extinct & as are other animals thanks to poaching.

If you want money educate yourself. Better yourself. Read, learn, study. Trust me, accomplishing those goals will not only bring you way more money then a dead cheetah ever could & you'll be respected not hated.
