As someone has already mentioned, it's just a case of trying to get inside the setter's head. Once you've done that, the answers tend to fall in place. It helps if you have a decent vocabulary also.
Try this one.
No stomach for chase, vegans sabotaged hunt.
If you take out the `stomach` i.e. the middle of chase you're left with CE. You add that to VEGANS and sabotaged means it's an anagram. Hunt is the answer in the clue so you have an anagram of CEVEGANS - Scavenge, a type of hunt.
All it takes is practice.
