Being near his cattle, I wonder if he will get any trouble out of this.

killing and being close are way different things. He may have a huge problem.

Depends on the state. Had a friend kill a hawk that was killing chickens in Alabama and the Judge told him he would just have to raise enough for him and the hawk.

Missouri laws allow you to protect your livestock with deadly force. I have not found the entire story yet so I don't know if he can prove harm to his cattle.
