Hang on to them and sell them on **** in a few years as "Retro".

"Retro" tags would have little value because I could flood the market...   ;)  
Host a tag burning party with a camp fire and beer. Then, after a few beers, put the tags in the fire with a suitable ceremony and have a few more beers...

I actually have a huge shadowbox for mine- I have photos, stones I pick up, broken arrows, oddities, maps, letters or emails from the groups I've hunted with, etc...and use the unfilled tags in there...I can look at it and 'see' the hunts in my mind just glancing at it....

In spite of eating a hearty tag-soup each year, I find that trad bowhunting still tastes great and is satisfying.  Here's what I cook up most years:

First I'll set the table with some fletching and tuning, then I start out with an appetizer (multiple helpings) of months of backyard practice, and liven it up with a few sprinkles of 3-D shoots.  To the tag-soup itself (a hearty stew, really) my initial ingredients are 1 1/2 scoops of Compton, some slices of Kalamazoo Expo, and some local club, if I can fit it in.  The club in my area has a wild flavor, with a lot of wheelies, so I'm careful not to overwhelm the meal with too much technology.  My favorite part of the stew is the peeled scouting, which I try to mix at least by halves with "family time".  Since the whole stew is simmering by now, and there's a great aroma filling the house, it's not hard to come up with some "bowhunter comeraderie" to beef up the nutritional value.  Sometimes (if available, depending on the season) I throw in a couple shots of "missed", but this can make the stew bitter and overwhelm the flavor, if I'm too liberal with it.  To wash it all down I enjoy a tall glass of "fiddling with my gear".  For dessert, a piece of "vids & pics" cake always hits the spot.  

All that other stuff usually makes the taste of the unfilled tag just disappear.
Life is a whole lot easier when you just plow around the stump.
