Steve,
I'm not sure what auswaiden is, auswaiten means to stretch out or widen out. Aufgebrochen means it was broken open. We have a couple problems here, number one: I had no schooling in German, whatever I think I know I "picked up" from hunters, engineers, foresters, gunsmiths, citizens living in Bavaria( mostly Lower Franconia);much of which is dialect rather than "High German". Number two, Waidmann's sprache (hunters language) is from old, old tradition and uses terms not used in normal German.
