Hunting by Daybreak is not fucking hard. It only has the potential to be difficult on Maddening and if you're playing on Maddening, then you 99% have already played the game before and know it's coming. You have the entirety of White Clouds to prepare for it. The only time it can ever be hard is if it catches you unaware on your first playthrough and 99% of people played Hard or lower their first time which means you can just brute force it.

tl;dr saying Hunting by Daybreak is hard is just a self-report that you're a very poor planner.
