Bosov Tine

Valentin Slatnar - Bôsov Tine - died this morning in Kamniška Bistrica. Who didn't know Bos's Tine, the oldest hunting guard in the royal hunting ground in Kamniška Bistrica? Beyond the Source, he had his own house, where he managed his faithful wife Neža. Tourists and excursionists loved to go to Tine for buckwheat mash. The loving lord Tine was very much loved by all, and all the masters he served highly appreciated his sacrifice and conscientiousness in the service. 61 years ago, as a 20-year-old, he entered the service as a hunting guard. Last year, he celebrated his 80th birthday and the 60th anniversary of performing his responsible and dangerous job. As a strong and for such high years extremely resilient and hard-working man, we could set him as a model of our strong mountain cramp, which in the healthy mountain air and daily effort still retained its freshness and flexibility in body and spirit. Despite his 81 years, Bosov Tine still loved to walk around the district with a rifle and climbed the most dangerous and steep paths towards Sedlo and Mokrica with youthful flexibility. As in his young years, when he was in eternal battles with wild hunters, he was still the greatest fear of wild hunters of the extensive royal hunting ground in Kamniška Bistrica. Tine has been a living chronicle of all the events of the last 60 years in the Bistrica region. He remembered every event accurately, and with great interest everyone listened to his hunting stories, which he never ran out of. Three years ago, the king decorated Tine for faithful service with a gold medal. Recently, while still healthy and full of life, he happily waved his green hunting hat and screamed loudly at the top of Mokrica, but today he is lying on the coffin, where he was laid to rest in a few days. He will be buried in the cemetery in Stranje on Wednesday morning. This is how all our strong mountain cramps die. It is chilly and rugged to the last, and then it goes out like a light that flickers mightily to the end and ii suddenly runs out of fuel. Valentin Slatnar - Bosov Tine, despite being an eternal persecutor and fear of wild hunters in his service, was a noble soul and an extremely good heart that everyone admired. Read More
