This is no longer true. I just finished the Eldin Silent Realm, and wanted to upgrade the quiver before moving on. There is no bokoblin boss that spawns in this location any more.

The easiest way to farm monster horns is to travel to the eldin volcano and spawn at the temple entrance. There is a bokoblin with a horn just to the side of the entrance. grab the horn, run inside the temple. Then just run back out and rinse and repeat. easy monster horn each time.
