It was previously known as the Tyrone Hunt, and was established in 1860 by the last Colonel George Perry McClintock. J.P, D.L., of Seskinore. He held the Mastership until 1886 when he was succeeded by his son, the present owner of Seskinore, Captain now Lieut. Colonel J. Knox McClintock, who renamed the Hunt and retired in 1905. Mr. King Houston, of Riversdale, Omagh was Master from 1905 to 1908; the present Master is Mr. Lewis Scott of Omagh. These hounds meet twice a week. The country is undulating with bogs in parts which make hunting difficult, but south is as good as any in the North of Ireland.
